Atari and subsidiary Nightdive Studios are aiming for an October 2025 release of the remastered Turok trilogy for Nintendo Switch and PS5.
One of the most intriguing game series, Turok, has already had a remaster for current gen systems. But with a physical release, the Turok Trilogy could be landing with some special editions.
The time-travelling trilogy might seem old hat in some respects these days — in fact, time travel has become a bit of a worn out trope — but these games are worth picking up in any form.

Turok Trilogy recap
New to Turok or have somehow forgotten the games? These synopses have been released:
Turok
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 an unknown 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 contain the power of the Chronoscepter 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, Turok is tasked with restoring peace to the land and stopping the Primagen from merging Earth with the nether world. The sequel to the hit game Turok features a host of enemies, weapons, missions, locations, and a new multiplayer mode.
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion
In the third game in the classic trilogy, players choose between dual protagonists Joseph and Danielle Fireseed, siblings of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil protagonist Joshua Fireseed. Together, they must defeat the titular antagonist Oblivion and its followers, the Flesh Eaters, after the supposed demise of their brother at its hands.
Pre-orders for the Turok Trilogy Bundle are now live on Atari.com as well as other retailers. Both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 versions can be pre-ordered on Amazon now, ahead of the October 31, 2025 release.
If you prefer the un-remastered versions, the Nintendo 64 version of Turok 2 is available via Nintendo Switch Online.
