Nightdive Studios has announced that Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion has been delayed slightly on Switch and is now scheduled to arrive on November 30th, 2023.
The team hasn't provided a specific reason behind the delay, but given that it's only a couple of weeks after the initial release date, we're honestly not too concerned.
Turok 3 follows in the footsteps of Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil on Switch, providing enhanced visuals, gyro controls, and rumble features not found in the original N64 title. The original release arrived in 2000 to reasonably positive reception, though it was noted that it couldn't quite reach the heights of Rare's Perfect Dark.
Here's a reminder of the key features:
- A remastered version of the 2000 classic, available for the first time since its Nintendo 64 release
- Advanced rendering features, including anti-aliasing, bloom, ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, and motion blur
- Remastered environment art, character models, and updated weapon models
- Optional Motion/Gyro controls for Nintendo Switch console and Gamepad rumble

NOOOOOO
honestly , not a bad wait at all. It hits me though because believe it or not this is one of my most anticipated games in 2023… lol
I think it was in my top 5? Mario RPG, EA Sports WRC, Mario Wonder, Metal Gear Solid Vol 1, and Turok 3. Can’t wait to play this!
Heck yeah! I rented this from Blockbuster a number of times, but don't remember beating it. I think I'll spend some time over the holidays and blast through the entrie trilogy
The sooner this is out, the sooner Rage Wars can be next.
This upsets me.
I am so ready for this. I have TUROK on cartridge (first Limited Run purchase), but would love them to release a Trilogy cartridge with all 3.
Glad that Turok is gettting the love he needs.
I thought I read there would be a physical at some point. I will want it to go with the first two, I never played this one.
Nice though the third Turok is my least favorite of the five Turok games, I'm glad we got the original trilogy all covered now.
This game looks interesting and I never played it at the time, looking forward to playing it while awaiting their Dark Forces release.
Apparently there is no multiplayer included in this version as the source code got lost, unfortunately.
I forgot the release date and assumed it'd be pushed to 2024, so makes no difference to me. With the Turok N64 Trilogy being available on modern platforms, it's got me wondering if Turok Evolution will ever resurface. I have the most fond (and frightful) memories of that particular one. Would absolutely love to play that again with a modern touch.
Cannot wait for this one.
I slightly dabbled in Turok back on the N64. I know they don't like to put these games on sale very much. Maybe with the trilogy completed they will now.
Looking forward to getting this, I had forgotten it was coming out... 🤣
Great game to play over Christmas.. 👏
It looks like a pretty significant improvement over the N64 release, which is a very good thing. I am looking forward to playing this, but at the time I remember feeling that Half-life took the fun out of fps, and this series was very much one of those that felt like it had to get in it's sunday best all the sudden.
Honestly, I hope someone realizes that a small team of passionate fans could do amazing things with Turok.
Not that bad of a delay. Just happy that the Turok trilogy will be on Switch. Fingers crossed that Rage Wars(with online play) and Turok Evolution are in the cards.
@Porky I don't mean to sound rude, but why? Evolution was just...oof.
@LikelySatan The detail in gore, dismemberment, the screams of agony, the stealth sections, AI behavior, the varied Slegs and their choice of weaponry, their humorous dialog and banter that goes unnoticed by many, and who could forget the poison that makes enemies throw up their guts? I thought the humanoid reptilian race Slegs was fascinating while menacing (their creepy appearance, stature, and voice), anyway. Mixed reception or not, will like to see it brought back like it's predecessors.
@Porky you can walk backwards up the side of the mountain to bypass one of the stealth sections.
So that was fun..
Will grab it but on the PC and if possible on Gog.
When is Dark Forces scheduled for release?
Mission Log - November 30, 2023–
I’m locked and loaded for today waiting for this to drop. Gonna be a great weekend with this and Cassette Beasts! (In late to the game on the latter I know and just bought it on sale finally. This time of year is Pokémon time for me but there isn’t any reason to play that now so I’m trying something fresh and what looks to be somewhat better.)
