Over the past few years Nightdive Studios has been remastering and re-releasing the N64 Turok trilogy on modern systems. The games were originally created by Iguana and released between 1997 and 2000 by Acclaim, a publisher that died a long time ago (the rights to Turok now belong with Universal Games). Turok was one of the most popular third-party franchises on the N64, especially the first game which came out during a drought of titles for the system. Turok was the only thing you COULD buy!
The Turok remasters have gotten physical editions thanks to Limited Run Games, who is once again stepping up to finish off the trilogy with Turok 3. Several physical editions were made open for pre-order today on multiple systems: Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and XBox One.
Turok 3 would prove to be controversial due to the fact that it kills off the original Turok — before you even start playing. He fell prey to an enemy between Turoks 2 and 3, so two members of his family tree take up the mantle instead: Joseph and Danielle Fireseed. Was Iguana trying to start some kind of Belmont legacy with this series? It didn’t really stick.
The Standard Edition of Turok 3 contains just the game (in the case of the system of your choosing) for $29.99. The Classic Edition gives you that plus an embossed, foil retro box, a reversible poster, the soundtrack on CD, and a metal retro cartridge replica (…sorry, it’s not functional) for $60.
Preorders for the physical edition of Turok 3 will be open for one month starting today; they are estimated to ship in November.
