Have you been patiently awaiting the return of the Turok series? These dinosaur-hunting first person shooters are beloved by fans, but the franchise has been fossilised for a long time. There have been murmurings of the remastered version of the classic coming back on PlayStation 4, with the Trophy list discovered last year. Now, a release is all but confirmed.
As discovered by Gematsu, the remaster of the Nintendo 64 original — developed by Nightdive Studios — can be found in a search on the PlayStation Store. Additionally, if you search via the PlayStation smartphone app, you can also find a listing for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Both pages come complete with screenshots, full descriptions, and a joint release date of 25th February 2021.
This shouldn't come as a huge surprise; these remasters have been available on other platforms, including Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, for years at this point. The PS4 ports have yet to be officially announced, but with everything viewable on the official Store, they're as good as confirmed.
Turok 1 and 2's remasters bring the games in line with modern TVs, making them widescreen and upscaling the resolution to HD, and they benefit from improved controls and better performance. As mentioned above, the PS4 versions will of course include a handful of Trophies to collect too.
So, it looks like you can relive your dino-hunting days pretty soon on PS4. Will you be playing either of these? Stomp into the comments section below.

I have the first two on PC and they’re sorta fun but nowhere near my favourite classic shooters.
update the textures and BAM im in
I have both games on pc, both are good games with some flaw, for turok 1 it's the respawning enemy, for turok 2 the objective is really hidden in the stage, there's pointer but it's still hard to find the objective. The gameplay, music, weapon selection and shooting is good though.
I spent a stupid amount getting these physically on Switch from Limited Run. I adored them on the N64 and the 4 player multiplayer in Turok 2 was amazing at the time. It was great to go back to them again after all those years and while they don't stand up to modern shooters, they're still fantastic fun.
The first Turok is the gift that keeps on giving. What a swell game, glad PS4 owners get to play!
NINJA APPROVED
Turok 2 was an awesome game with highly underrated multiplayer. I still remember using the Cerebral Bore, one of the most annoying weapons in the game. I would love to see a full remastered edition of that game, it would bring a much needed addition the the FPS genre which has become somewhat monotonous and boring in my opinion.
Turok-your-socks-off
I figured these games were already on the PS store, wonder why it took this long. For anyone interested, these versions are fantastic and the best way to revisit these games.
Im actually really excited about this !
Lol played this on my N64. I only remember dinosaurs, don't really remember it like GoldenEye64, Donkey Kong64, Mario64 and Mario Party.
Hell yeah I will certainly be getting Turok 2. Loved it but the save mechanism was just broken if I remember correctly and never quite finished it. Maybe this time I’ll do it!
Loved the multiplayer - especially the creepy Dino guy who says “I undress myself” when you pick him.
I remember playing them all on the N64 1-3 I didn’t have a save pak so I had to start from the beginning every time barely making it that far, I also remember watching the gameplay that appears from staying on the start screen to long where it shows all the weapons remembering I’ll never see anything more than the shotgun and pistol 😭😭😭.
We need more Nightdive releases, but they seem to favor Nintendo and Xbox for some reason. Anyway never played these despite having an N64 back in the day but I love old school 90s shooters and having played alot of the original Doom games lately this is a great time for me to jump in if the price is reasonable
I used to love these games back in the day.
Turok blew me away on the N64 back in the day but i think i will pass. Acclaim certainly had some good games in their library.
@Quintumply Dumb question, but are these ports, remasters, or remakes?
Funny that back in the day, DOOM 64 looked obsolete next to Turok, but now I feel DOOM 64 aged much better. Really enjoyed played it in my switch last year.
Turok 2 was awsome but the level layouts and objectives were confusing as hell and a pain in the a**. I wish they didnt use the portals and kept to just 1 singular level.
I can't find these on the UK store so I'm guessing it's only for certain parts of the wold.
@KidBoruto So these are remasters of the original N64 games. They were released a year or two back on Xbox One, and then on Switch. They're just now coming to PS4.
Haha what?!? How bizarre lol. Loved the original back in the day. I really don't think it'll hold up well at all but I probably can't help myself from getting it lol. Pretty cool
Which PS4 store has these Turok games listed. I just looked on the US store and still no listing.
What a missed opportunity to release this on PSVR.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Agreed. That was the one fatal flaw with Turok, esp. #2. Otherwise, they are awesome games.
@Jeremiah_Thor didn’t even think about that. As much as I want new VR content I really don’t mind remade older content in VR. I personally loved Skyrim in VR even though it was probably the 4th time getting it.
