Buena Vista Games Snags Turok License

By , About.com Guide

Buena Vista Games today announced that it has acquired the publishing rights to the Turok franchise. BVG's new Vancouver studio has been assigned the task of creating a new Turok game and we can only hope that it will be better than Acclaim's last effort with the series.

“With the launch of the new console and handheld game platforms, we feel it is the perfect time to redefine Turok video games,” said Graham Hopper, senior vice president and general manager, Buena Vista Games. “We expect Turok to lead our growth strategy of creating action-oriented game franchises for the core gamer market.”

“Through compelling new technology, game design and graphics, it is our goal to take the Turok franchise to new heights,” said Josh Holmes, vice president and studio general manager for Propaganda Games. “The brand’s rich, prehistoric setting and ferocious monsters provide us an extensive palette of content to create the most intense, action-packed game play for next generation console systems.”
