Saber Interactive Revives Turok with Turok: Origins for Nintendo Switch 2
Saber Interactive has officially brought the acclaimed Turok series back into the spotlight with the announcement of Turok: Origins, revealed during Nintendo's latest Partner Direct.
The new installment in the long-running first-person shooter franchise is scheduled for release on the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 in fall 2026. Turok: Origins marks a significant evolution for the series, offering players a blend of first and third-person shooter action set in a rich, intergalactic environment.
The game challenges players to take on the role of a member of the ancient Order of the Turok—heroic defenders wielding extraordinary powers—who are locked in a relentless battle to protect humanity from extinction at the hands of a dangerous alien species.
The central mission in Turok: Origins will have players battling to safeguard human civilization from being wiped out by this malevolent extraterrestrial force. Saber Interactive, recognized for its expertise in developing and porting high-profile games such as World War Z, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, and Crysis Remastered for the original Nintendo Switch, brings its technical prowess to the latest hardware.
With years of experience delivering demanding titles to Nintendo platforms, Saber’s involvement ensures that Turok: Origins will harness the capabilities of the Switch 2 for a refined gameplay experience. In Turok: Origins, players can embark on their adventure solo or join forces with others in online cooperative play.
The game features varied environments teeming with ferocious creatures, formidable dinosaurs, and massive bosses.
As players progress, they’ll unlock and upgrade a wide arsenal of advanced weaponry and powerful DNA abilities, enabling them to adapt to the escalating threats that emerge throughout the campaign. This revival not only celebrates the legacy of one of gaming’s most iconic shooters, first introduced on the Nintendo 64, but also pushes the boundaries for what’s possible on the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
For those eager to revisit the roots of Turok, Nightdive's polished eShop releases and the Nintendo Switch Online 'Nintendo Classics' library remain accessible, letting players experience the series’ celebrated N64 origins. With its compelling mix of cooperative play, innovative weapon systems, and a gripping sci-fi narrative, Turok: Origins is set to be a highlight of the Nintendo Switch 2’s growing library when it launches in fall 2026.
