There is a generation of gamers who know Turok well. For me, it is first and foremost an N64 game, a dinosaur-killing first-person shooter alternative to Rare\u2019s all-conquering GoldenEye. But there is a generation of gamers who have never even heard of Turok before, let alone played it. So how does developer Saber get younger gamers interested in playing the upcoming Turok: Origins<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The answer, Saber development chief Tim Willits told me at gamescom 2026, is co-op. Playing with friends is massively important for younger gamers, he said, and so Saber has made sure to include it as a feature.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s been a balancing act to make sure that we had enough elements in it to make guys like you happy, like the Cerebral [Bore] gun, some throwbacks to the original Turok player, some other elements,\u201d Willits said. “You can play first-person or third-person. So we want guys like you to be like, \u2018Oh, this is cool.\u2019 And then the dinosaur bosses are awesome.<\/p>\n
