“I… Am… Turok!”
Nightdive Studios has confirmed that their remaster of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter will make its way to the Nintendo Switch on March 18. The first person shooter was originally released for the Nintendo 64 all the way back in 1997, and would go on to become one of the platform’s signature games.
In addition to an enhanced visual presentation, Nightdive tweaked Turok’s re-release to include improved gameplay and level design:
Turok is back and no dinosaur is safe! When it was first released in 1997, Turok introduced gamers to a world teeming with cunning enemies, traps, puzzles and deadly weapons all within a vast 3D environment ready to explore. Now the classic game has been restored and enhanced with a new visual engine and exciting new features to sink your teeth into!

The Campaigner has constructed a massive focusing array which he plans to use to magnify and pervert the power of the Chronoscepter in order to shatter the barriers between the ages and rule the universe. Turok has vowed to find the eight pieces of the Chronoscepter spread throughout the Lost Land and put an end to The Campaigner’s evil plot…
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter will be available to download through the Switch eShop for $19.99.
