Better late than never, it appears the remaster of the N64 classicTurokmay finally be coming to the PS4 afterbeing released on the Xbox One two years ago, if a recent trophy list leak is to be believed.
Originally released in 1997,Turokwas a first-person shooter based on a dinosaur-hunting comic book character of the same name from 1954. The game was (naturally) about hunting dinosaurs from a place called the Lost Land in order to keep them from reaching planet Earth. The sequel expanded on the lore ofTurok’sworld and threw aliens into the mix for good measure.

The franchise was held Acclaim and developed by Acclaim Studios Austin (then known as Iguana Entertainment) until the studio and publisher filed for bankruptcy in 2003. In 2008 developer Propaganda Games and publisher Touchstone Games took over the license and attempted a somewhat unsuccessful reboot. A sequel to the reboot was in developmentbefore being canceled following massive layoffs at Propaganda.
Touchstone was under the umbrella of Disney, and as such was shudderedalong with everything else Disney game-relatedin 2016. Then, in 2018, the N64Turok,along with its sequelTurok 2: Seeds of Evil,were given a visual touchup by Night Dive Studios and were released on Xbox One 2018.
The PlayStation trophy and Xbox One achievement tracking website Exophase checks the Sony and Microsoft servers for newly uploaded data constantly. Sometimes the trophy data is posted before the game itself is announced, like withUntitled Goose Gamefor PS4 and Xbox One, sometimes to prepare for a surprise launch of a game. This is usually a guarantee that a game is coming soon to PS4, though it has yet to be confirmed by Night Dive Studios.
This wouldn’t be a massive surprise,as theTurokremaster was released last year on Nintendo Switchas well. The trophy list forTurok2has not shown up on Exophase yet, so it remains to be seen if that game will come to PS4 as well. Still, fans of the N64 classic who haven’t had the chance to check out the remaster should be looking forward to possible announcement soon.
TurokandTurok 2 areavailable on PC, Switch, and Xbox One.
