LOS ANGELES – Dec. 12, 2024 – At The Game Awards, Saber Interactive, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, today revealed Turok: Origins, a new evolution of the classic dinosaur-hunting game franchise that began nearly 30 years ago. Developed and published by Saber, this fast-paced, third-person, sci-fi shooter, featuring both solo and cooperative action for up to three players, will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Watch the debut trailer now and get your very first look at the epic gameplay and spectacle of Turok: Origins.

Turok: Origins revives the legendary game franchise's action and spirit while bringing it forward into the modern era with a completely new look, story, and gameplay. Players will take on the role of fierce Turok warriors to face off against ferocious dinosaurs and a terrifying alien threat that seeks to destroy all human life in the galaxy. Fans can unleash devastating attacks on enemies with weapons and abilities, and harness fallen enemies' DNA to upgrade their arsenal. Players will embark on a high-stakes adventure — solo or with friends — to unravel mysteries that hold the key to saving humanity.

"Turok was one of the first console shooters I ever played," said Matthew Karch, CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive. "When we looked at game franchises that we felt deserved to be brought back, Turok was at the top of our list. At Saber, we love taking classic IP and combining it with fresh gameplay. We are excited to finally announce the game, but we'll be even happier when we deliver this old-school experience with modern-day execution."

"Turok is an iconic game franchise that has fascinated players for decades. As we embark on its revival, we're proud to honor its rich heritage while reimagining it for a new era," said Bill Kispert, SVP & GM, Games & Digital Platforms at Universal Products & Experiences. "Rooted in comic book origins, this absorbing, adrenaline-charged series is truly one that deserves a comeback, and we're dedicated to delivering an exciting experience chock full of story, action, combat and creatures that both longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate."
