Turok multiplayer details

Dinosaurs might eat you.

More details about Turok for Xbox 360 and PS3 have been excavated this afternoon, uncovering multiplayer support for up to 16 people, which doesn't appear to be as straightforward as it seems.

Naturally you'll be able to shoot your friends in the face whilst laughing raucously over your headset, but you'll also have to watch your back for for those ageing scaly dinosaurs.

By invading their planet, which effectively is a delicately balanced ecosystem, you might accidentally have put yourself on Terry Rex's dinner menu. It seems these fellows are somewhat more of a handful than your average hamster, and may well be-line for your meaty thighs over some Jurassic wildebeest. Chomp.

The game is in development at Propaganda Games for an autumn release, with a demo expected to appear closer to that time.

It's built on Unreal Engine 3 and bears an uncanny similarity to Gears of War. You can explore the latest screenshots elsewhere on the site.
