Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, the final installment of the Turok trilogy, is getting a remaster from retro specialist Nightdive Studios. Set to release on November 14th for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, this remaster follows Nightdive’s previous remasters of Turok 2 and Turok.
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion was originally released in 2000 for the N64 and Game Boy Color, but this remaster marks its first availability since then. Players will have the option to play as Joseph or Danielle Fireseed, the siblings of Turok 2 protagonist Joshua Fireseed. Together, they must defeat the Oblivion and its Flesh Eater followers in a thrilling dinosaur-filled first-person shooter experience.
Nightdive has promised a range of improvements for the remaster, including enhanced environment art, character models, and updated weapon models. Additionally, the game will feature “advanced rendering features” such as anti-aliasing, bloom, ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, and motion blur. Players can expect up to 4K 120fps performance on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The remaster will also include controller enhancements such as rumble and optional gyro controls on Switch. Trophies and Achievements will be available on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
In a statement, Nightdive’s director of business development, Larry Kuperman, expressed excitement for the remastered version of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion. Kuperman mentioned that the game utilizes the latest version of Nightdive’s KEX engine and that the team is looking forward to sharing the game with players later this year.
