Over two decades following the release of Turok on Nintendo 64, it seems that a Switch version will be coming later this month for $19.99 via the Nintendo eShop.
According to the listing on the Nintendo Switch eShop, Turok will retail for $19.99. The game is a remaster where it will have enhancements via a ‘new visual engine’ along with new features for players to experience. The game is currently developed and published by Nightdive Studios.
For gamers who have not heard of Turok before, the game is pretty much about dinosaurs and it’s up to players to take them down using different kind of weapons such as grenade launcher, a plasma pulse rifle, a quad rocker launcher, and an atomic fusion cannon.
If you have a Xbox One or PC, there is already a remaster version of both Turok games. Fortunately, a portable version is always better as it’s always good to play these kind of games anywhere you are.
As for its sequel, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil will be coming to Switch as well and fans will not have to wait for long. According to Nightdive via Discord, the sequel is sure to arrive for Switch but a data is still to be announced.
Here’s an overview of Turok, via Nintendo:
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 Lost Land…
A world where time has no meaning – and evil knows no bounds. Torn from a world long gone, the time traveling warrior Turok has found himself thrust into a savage land torn by conflict. An evil overlord known as ‘The Campaigner’ seeks to shred the fabric of time and rule the universe using an ancient artifact known as ‘The Chronoscepter’. The Chronoscepter was shattered thousands of years ago in an effort to keep it from falling into evil hands. 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 will be available for Switch on March 18, 2019 for $19.99.
