Five New Turok Maps Coming Tomorrow; Also PC Release Date Revealed

Touchstone is pretty ecstatic that their latest addition to the Turok franchise has shipped a million units. They’re so happy in fact that they can’t wait for you to gobble up some DLC tomorrow. The “Velociraptor Pack” will be ready for download tomorrow and will feature five new multiplayer maps. Of course, when I say “new,” I really mean that two of them are just previous maps that are now set at night.

• Co-Op – A brand new Turok co-op map for 2-4 players. In this co-op map your Whiskey Company squad has been captured and is being held in a Mendel-Gruman facility designed for holding dinosaurs. You and your team have to break out and make it to the rescue chopper before the Wolf Pack troops decide to feed you to the captured raptors.
• Desolation – A brand new swamp-based map where simple structures are set up alongside a rock cliff to allow helicopters and transports into the area to bring in supplies. There are many hiding spots on this multi-level map which enables numerous quiet kill opportunities.
• Sentinel – Another new multiplayer map and one of the largest Turok maps to date. The setting takes place at the top of a mountain around one of Kane’s orbital defense arrays – the very base that shot down the Whiskey Company ship from orbit in the single-player campaign. Also, the presence of a few large dinosaurs on the map can make things very interesting during multiplayer combat.
• Inconclusive Tests – This time the Testing Grounds map takes place at night and offers a different view of the world that now contains more dark hiding spots. A word of caution — watch out for the raptors.
• A Rivalry Continues – As the name suggests, the struggle for the compound from A Heated Rivalry is not over and has extended into the eerie darkness of the night.

Well, at least the price seems right (400 MS points/$5). Touchstone also announced that the PC version of Turok should see release on April 22nd. Yes, that’s right, soon PC players will be able to enjoy Turok in all it’s derivative mediocrity as well. Via Press Release
