If you have been itching to blast a raptor in the face with a Tek Bow, you are not alone. It has been ages since Turok graced our consoles, but thanks to a fresh leak, we finally have a better idea of when the reboot is landing. Spoiler alert: You might want to get comfortable.
According to a report from MP1st that has been making waves on Reddit, Turok Origins is internally targeting a 2026 release window [web:79][web:80]. While fans were hoping to jump into the jungle sooner, this leak suggests Saber Interactive is taking its time to polish this bold new direction for the franchise.
The Leak: Where Did 2026 Come From?
This isn’t just random forum gossip. The information comes from a LinkedIn profile of a sound designer at Saber Interactive [web:79][web:90]. The employee listed Turok Origins as a project with a “forthcoming” release in 2026.
While release dates can always slip (this is the gaming industry, after all), this is the most concrete timeline we have had since the game’s official reveal at The Game Awards 2024 [web:84]. It aligns with the “early development” vibe we got from the initial teaser, suggesting the team is deep in the production trenches.
The Controversy: First-Person vs. Third-Person
If you are an OG fan, you probably remember Turok as a frantic First-Person Shooter (FPS). Well, Origins is shaking things up, and not everyone is happy. The reboot is confirmed to be a Third-Person Co-Op Shooter [web:84][web:96].
The Reddit threads discussing the leak are split. Some fans are excited to team up with friends to hunt dinos, comparing it to Helldivers 2 with T-Rexes. Others feel it betrays the solitary, claustrophobic roots of the N64 classics [web:80]. Saber Interactive has a strong track record with co-op shooters (hello, Space Marine 2), so there is hope, but it is definitely a pivot.
What We Know About Turok Origins So Far
Here is a quick breakdown of the confirmed details versus the rumors:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Developer | Saber Interactive |
| Release Window | 2026 (Leaked) |
| Genre | 3rd Person Co-Op Survival Shooter |
| Platforms | PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC |

Why the Wait Might Be Good
Let’s be honest: rushing a game never ends well. With Turok Origins aiming for 2026, Saber has the runway to ensure the dinosaur AI is terrifying and the co-op mechanics are seamless. Plus, it gives us plenty of time to re-play the Nightdive Studios remasters of the original trilogy to get our fix [web:84].
