Here’s A New Look At Turok: Origins Gameplay, And Some Early Hands-On Impressions
New gameplay footage for Turok: Origins has emerged, showcasing the upcoming dinosaur-hunting shooter from developer Saber Interactive. The footage, provided through Champs Network’s YouTube channel, offers a first look at combat mechanics including finishing moves called “Xenia executions,” dynamic dinosaur encounters, and the variety of weapons and abilities players will have access to.
The game is a cooperative third and first-person shooter designed for up to three players working together through a campaign against sentient dinosaurs. Early hands-on impressions from outlets who played it at Gamescom suggest the experience is moderately entertaining but doesn’t quite reach the heights of classic Turok titles.
Reviewers noted the game’s straightforward premise—fighting dinosaurs with friends—provides a fun backdrop for action-focused gameplay. The combination of finisher moves, varied weaponry, and cooperative mechanics creates opportunities for engaging moments, though the experience reportedly feels somewhat conventional for the shooter genre.
The game is confirmed to be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms, with a release window in Spring 2027. The nostalgic appeal of the Turok franchise—particularly for players who remember the original N64 game—combined with the modern cooperative shooter format offers potential appeal to fans of the series and co-op action games, even if early impressions suggest it may land as a solid but unremarkable entry rather than a definitive reinvention of the franchise.
