Nightdive Interactive is remastering the game using the KEX engine (but since these remasters are usually pretty good, don’t worry).
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion was released on September 6, 2000, for Nintendo 64, but now all modern platforms will get the game. Nightdive Studios director of business development Larry Kuperman in a press release, said, “The Turok series is one of the classic touchstones of gaming, and being able to provide the newest and improved version of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is a great feeling. It fully uses the latest version of our KEX engine, and we’re excited to share the game with players later this year.”
Here’s the game’s overview: “Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is a faithful restoration of the classic first-person shooter initially released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, upgraded through Nightdive Studios’ proprietary KEX Engine for play on modern gaming devices with up to a 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. It joins Nightdive Studios, Universal Games, and Digital Platforms’ popular Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil remasters, capping off the trilogy. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion features upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for console gamepads with platform-specific features. Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion is the first title from Nightdive Studios to use the latest version KEX engine, which utilizes an improved renderer to achieve a higher tier of visual fidelity across 3D models, textures, and graphical effects. In Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, players choose between dual protagonists Joseph and Danielle Fireseed, siblings of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil protagonist Joshua Fireseed. Together, they must defeat the titular antagonist Oblivion and its followers, the Flesh Eaters, after the supposed demise of their brother at its hands.
A remastered version of the 2000 classic, available for the first time since its Nintendo 64 release, it offers advanced rendering features, including anti-aliasing, bloom, ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, motion blur, remastered environment art, character models, updated weapon models, optional motion/gyro controls for Switch and Gamepad rumble, and Trophies and Achievements on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam).”
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion will be released on November 14 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. So it will be a multiplatform, cross-gen title, and knowing Nightdive, there shouldn’t be any problems with performance.
