Nightdive Studios :
Oblivion has arisen! The Flesh Eaters have come to terrorize the world and let chaos reign! This cannot stand. The finale to one of gaming's most iconic trilogies is here.
Renowned video game remaster studio and Atari® subsidiary Nightdive Studios — in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms — is proud to announce that Turok 3: Shadow Oblivion is now available on PC and PlayStation®, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles.
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 120FPS. It joins Nightdive Studios' popular remasters of Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, capping off the trilogy.
The title features upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for console gamepads with platform-specific features. It is also the first game from Nightdive Studios built on the latest version of the 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.
Key Features of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion include:
The Hunt Begins Again: A remastered version of the 2000 classic, available for the first time since its Nintendo 64 release — with advanced rendering features, including anti-aliasing, bloom, ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, and motion blur.
Oblivion Wept: Improved visual fidelity, modern graphical techniques, and highly upgraded performance for up to 4K 120FPS on PC, PlayStation® 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
