Nightdive Studios bringing Turok remasters to Xbox One, meanwhile System Shock remake is put on hold

26/2/2018

 
Nightdive Studios are remastering the first two Turok games for Xbox One but their remake of System Shock is currently on hold

The 1997 Nintendo 64 classic Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, and its sequel, are being remastered for Xbox One with updated visuals and new features.

Each generation the mantle of Turok is passed down to the eldest male and it's their duty to protect the barriers between Earth and The Lost Land, a savage world where time has no meaning.

As a time travelling warrior, Turok must reclaim the eight pieces of an ancient artifact, known as the Chronoscepter, in order to stop an evil overlord, The Campaigner, from using its power to shatter those barriers between the ages and rule the universe.
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil directly follows on from its predecessor. After his battle against The Campaigner, Turok's actions (which we aren't going to spoil) inadvertently awaken an even greater threat - The Primagen. A new hero takes on the mantle and must thwart The Primagen's plot to merge the two worlds.

The remasters are being handled by Nightdive Studios, the developers behind the System Shock remake. Unfortunately, that has been put on hold for the time being.

Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios, posted an update to Kickstarter letting backers know that the project has not been scrapped, however:


"I have put the team on a hiatus while we reassess our path so that we can return to our vision. We are taking a break, but NOT ending the project. Please accept my personal assurance that we will be back and stronger than ever. System Shock is going to be completed and all of our promises fulfilled."

Whilst we may have a lengthy wait for
System Shock, Turok and Turok 2 are both releasing on 2 March, and can be pre-ordered from the Xbox Store using the links above. They will set you back £15.99 a piece.

Does the impending launch of
Turok cushion the blow of the System Shock delay? Share your thoughts with us below or over in the forums.
