Saber Interactive has released an extended gameplay trailer for Turok: Origins, its new sci-fi action shooter confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 with a worldwide retail and digital launch on the Nintendo eShop in Fall 2026.
The trailer demonstrates combat, traversal, and upgrade systems and positions Turok: Origins as a major new entry for the franchise on Nintendo's next-generation handheld-home hybrid.
Turok: Origins is being developed as a hybrid first- and third-person shooter.
According to Saber Interactive's promotional materials, the game casts players as leaders of the ancient Order of the Turok, guardians who must defend humanity from predatory dinosaurs and an alien menace.
The developer highlights both solo and cooperative play, with an emphasis on fast-paced combat across varied environments collectively referred to as the Lost Lands.
In journalistic terms, Saber Interactive states that players will be able to tackle the campaign alone or in co-op, exploring diverse planets and ecosystems, unlocking and upgrading weaponry, and extracting DNA from defeated enemies to evolve abilities called EchoSyncs.
The studio describes progression systems that let players harvest DNA to enhance their arsenal and unlock new combat options.
Key, verified features shown in the trailer and on official channels include:
- Co-op and solo play: Campaign content is playable alone or with friends, with encounters that span ground, air, swamp, and cave environments.
- Hybrid perspectives: Combat alternates between first-person and third-person viewpoints to support cinematic encounters and tactical play.
- Weapon variety: Players will have access to classic and futuristic weapon classes such as plasma rifles, ray guns, sniper rifles, bows, and shotguns.
- DNA-based progression and EchoSyncs: The game uses DNA extraction from enemies and environments to upgrade weapons, evolve the mantle, and unlock new abilities labeled EchoSyncs.
- Expansive settings: Levels traverse ancient temples, wasteland canyons, and dense jungles across multiple planets in the Lost Lands.
Turok: Origins will be available both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 in Fall 2026.
Saber Interactive's trailer release offers the clearest public look at the title to date and confirms core systems and the target release window.
