Nightdive Studios has announced that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil will be available to download for the Xbox One on Friday, March 2.
The first two games in the Turok franchise helped fuel the first FPS boom on consoles after they were originally released for the Nintendo 64 in the late 90s. These remastered versions will be priced at $19.99 apiece, and will include enhanced graphics powered by a new visual engine:
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
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 2: Seeds of Evil
Having defeated the Campaigner, Turok throws the Chronocepter into a waiting volcano to destroy it. Unfortunately the blast awakens an even deadlier force – The Primagen. Once again a Turok is tasked with restoring peace to the land and stopping the Primagen from merging Earth with the nether world.
