Nintendo 64 Turok Games Slated For PS4 Release

Fans of the classic N64 Turok games can roar with excitement, as it looks like the series is making its way to the PS4.

According to a recent leak, Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil are being ported to the PS4. The information was first discovered by users of the PlayStation Network UK app, which claimed the two games would release on 25th February 2021.

Published by Acclaim, the prehistoric first-person shooter first released back in 1997 for the Nintendo 64, kickstarting a dinosaur dynasty.

Sadly, we haven’t got visual evidence, as the information has been taken down. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time information has leaked regarding Turok’s triumphant return.

Last year, trophy trackers Exophase managed to identify a list of accolades belonging to a new Turok port, submitted to PSN by Nightdive Studios. The Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC have already received Turok ports, so it would make complete sense for Nightdrive to port Turok to the PS4 [via Comicbook].

If these 90s classics do release on the PS4, it also means that the games will be backwards compatible with the PS5. This is sure to please fans who haven’t dived into the series since the days of the N64. Perhaps we’ll even see the series receive a revival of sorts, especially if there’s enough interest in ports of the original!

Nightdive Studios has yet to announce the ports for the PlayStation platform, so until it does, the games’ existence is uncertain. With the games’ rumour release date fast approaching, we may hear from the studio soon.

Failing that, we could still see them release in the future. Who knows, maybe we’ll also see Turok: Rage Wars stomp its way into our libraries as part of a Turok Collection.
