Turok: Origins announced at The Game Awards in year's most surprising reboot

Turok is, against all odds, back from the dead once again

If you tell me this one was on your bingo card for The Game Awards, you're a liar.

Turok, one of the most beloved video game franchises of the 90s, is back.

As revealed in a trailer at The Game Awards, Turok: Origins is a third person multiplayer shooter from developers Saber Interactive, utilising Unreal Engine 5.

Turok: Origins features online co-op, with three players able to take on the campaign together at the same time.

Saber Interactive is probably best known for its work on the Crysis franchise and, most recently, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

The Turok franchise probably peaked with the release of its most popular entry back in 1997: the Nintendo 64 classic Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

Take a look at the game's trailer.

However, until the release of the trailer for Turok: Origins, the series has laid dormant since the release of the reboot (simply titled Turok) back in 2008.

Turok: Origins seems to be taking the franchise in a completely new direction however, dropping the first-person gameplay the series is best known for in favour of a third person perspective.

Also seems like you'll have a lot of funky superpowers at your disposal this time around too, if that one bit in the trailer where the main character shoots lightning out of his hands is anything to go by.

2008's Turok was supposed to get a sequel, named Turok 2 (unsurprisingly), until developers Propaganda Games shuttered their doors in 2011 following a series of layoffs.

Turok unfortunately ended up being Propaganda Games' second to last title. Their final title, Tron: Evolution, launched in 2010. Don't confuse that one with Turok: Evolution, which was a 2002 game developed by Acclaim Studios Austin.

No word on a release date yet for Turok: Origins, but the trailer did promise that the title is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Steam.
