Turok: Origins Shows Intense Dinosaur Combat Ahead of Fall 2026 Release

Saber Interactive has released a new gameplay trailer for Turok: Origins, offering another brief look at the fast paced combat, large creatures, advanced weapons, and science fiction environments planned for the return of the classic dinosaur hunting franchise.

The new gameplay trailer combines cinematic sequences with short gameplay segments, showing Turok warriors confronting dinosaurs, alien forces, and enormous flying creatures across the Lost Lands. While the 47 second presentation does not provide an uninterrupted demonstration of a complete mission, it reinforces the scale and mobility Saber Interactive is targeting. Players can move quickly around combat arenas using dashes, grappling equipment, elevated platforms, and other traversal abilities. The environments appear designed with considerable verticality, allowing enemies to attack from the ground and air while players reposition between different levels of the battlefield.

Turok: Origins supports both first person and third person perspectives, with players able to switch between them during gameplay. This gives longtime fans the option to experience combat through the traditional first person viewpoint while also supporting the wider environmental awareness provided by an over the shoulder camera. Hands on impressions indicate that switching perspective requires only a single button press.

The game follows members of the mystical Order of the Turok, guardians fighting to stop dinosaurs and a powerful alien threat from destroying humanity. The campaign can be played alone or through online cooperative multiplayer, with combat built around weapons, character abilities, positioning, and teamwork.

Players will gain access to plasma rifles, sniper weapons, bows, shotguns, and experimental alien technology. Echoes collected throughout the game can unlock additional Turok powers, allowing players to customize their combat style and strengthen particular abilities. Earlier descriptions also explained that genetic material extracted from enemies and the surrounding environment can evolve the player’s suit and expand its capabilities.

The Lost Lands will extend beyond conventional jungle environments. Saber Interactive has shown ancient ruins, wasteland canyons, alien landscapes, temples, caves, swamps, and locations set across multiple planets. Boss encounters will include massive creatures that require players to combine movement, weapon management, and specialized abilities rather than relying exclusively on direct gunfire.

The project was originally revealed during The Game Awards in December 2024 as a new interpretation of the franchise by Saber Interactive, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and World War Z. Although its cooperative design represents a substantial departure from the structure of the original games, the futuristic weapons, dinosaurs, alien technology, and Lost Lands setting preserve several defining elements of the series.

Saber Interactive has confirmed that Turok: Origins will launch during Fall 2026 for PC through Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. An exact release date has not been announced, despite the Steam listing still displaying its launch timing as unavailable.

The latest trailer remains too brief to provide a complete evaluation of the mission design, enemy behavior, or cooperative progression, but it clearly communicates Saber Interactive’s priorities. Turok: Origins is being positioned as a fast and highly mobile action shooter rather than a slow survival experience.

The ability to switch between first person and third person gameplay could help the project satisfy different parts of the audience. Longtime players can retain the perspective associated with the original games, while third person combat should make the movement systems, character abilities, and cooperative encounters easier to follow.

Its greatest challenge will be preserving the identity of Turok inside a modern cooperative format. Dinosaurs and large weapons provide immediate spectacle, but the Lost Lands must also deliver exploration, danger, secrets, and memorable enemy encounters if this revival is going to stand apart from other team focused shooters.

Do you prefer Turok: Origins in first person or third person, and will its cooperative direction capture what made the original games memorable?
