"Beware, oblivion is at hand!"

—Turok: Origins tagline

Turok: Origins is an upcoming action-adventure first and third-person shooter video game, and the sixth mainline installment in the Turok franchise. First announced at The Game Awards on December 12, 2024 through a pre-rendered trailer, the game will be developed and published by Saber Interactive, and released on all major current generation platforms.

Development

Turok: Origins was revealed through an EpicDB leak in June of 2024. While the game's title wasn't leaked, only being referred to as Turok, Saber Interactive was listed as the game's developer. The game's leaked listing was created on May 23, 2024.

Origins would be formally revealed through an announcement trailer on December 12, 2024. Featuring three new Turoks armed with futuristic weaponry and shapeshifting armor, the trailer showcased one in the act of hunting dinosaurs, before a large, alien ship would descend overhead, with the three preparing to fight.

Beginning in March of 2025, the Turok: Origins Twitter account would begin posting concept art from the newly announced title with various captions.

Ominous echoes of the past.

Rooted in earth, grounded to nature.

Savage wilds await in the Lost Lands.

What carnage lies ahead?

What carnage lies ahead?

What carnage lies ahead?

What lurks in the depths...

Strange horizons.

Time rots in these hollows.

Terror feeds on the lost.

What is this place?

"We like to reboot franchises that we can really bring something to them. It's not about, well, this franchise was very successful in the past, let's make a reboot," Iglesias said. "We first evaluate if the franchise is something that we love, that we like, because the team needs to be involved from the very beginning and needs to work on something that we really embrace."

—Jesus Iglesias on Turok: Origins

In an interview with game director Jesus Iglesias, it was revealed Turok: Origins will now feature a dedicated first and third-person view, which the player can toggle between at any time. The different developmental pipelines for both viewpoints result in both feeling distinct over just being a simple camera shift. The game was announced to also feature difficulty levels that scale to both single and co-operative play.

Major plot details were kept on the downlow although some new information was divulged, with the primary plot centering on a reptilian humanoid race referred to as Xenia wanting to take over the universe, with additional plot threads dealing with the origins of Turoks.

Gameplay

Turok: Origins is set to be a first and third-person shooter hybrid, allowing for both solo and cooperative multiplayer playthroughs. Origins features multiple difficulty levels that scale to solo and co-op play, with solo play featuring no AI bots to help the player.

The game features a trio of classes, all based on spirit animals: the Raven, Cougar, and Bison, with each class determining the player's loadout and abilities. The Raven possesses a bow, while the Cougar features automatic weaponry, and the Bison runs a shotgun for close-range combat. Before each level, the player can swap between them. Each class features their own unique ultimate ability, and a series of unique, smaller scale abilities, akin to contemporary hero shooters; the Cougar class specifically grants a more powerful bow with an infinite supply of arrows.

The player's suit and weapons are upgradeable, with the game featuring a mechanic dubbed DNA Powers. DNA Powers will not only alter the player's suit's aesthetic, but will offer new abilities for them to use. Originally upon its 2024 reveal, DNA Powers were also the justification behind the initial shift to third-person over the Turok franchise's first-person roots, with the development team stating they were best visualized in third-person. This would be changed in development during 2025.
