Touchstone's reinvention of one of the defunct Acclaim's best franchises is off to a solid start. The publisher is now launching extra downloadable maps too.

Disney's Touchstone label announced today that its video game Turok has shipped more than a million copies across the globe for Xbox 360 and PS3. Developed by Propaganda Games, Touchstone's development studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Turok will also be receiving a Velociraptor Pack on March 27; the extra content features five new downloadable maps, which will sell for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live or $4.99 on PlayStation Network.

"Turok has captured the imagination of video game players throughout the world," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Touchstone. "We're now able to expand the multiplayer experience with the release of new maps. These five new maps are sure to satisfy Turok players who are hungry for more multiplayer challenges."

Touchstone also announced that it's brining the game to Windows/PC on April 22. The game has been "optimized" for the PC by Aspyr Studios and will support both traditional mouse & keyboard FPS controls or a game controller. In addition, the new downloadable content for the console versions will be available for the PC version "soon after that version's release."

Here are more details on the new downloadable maps, for those interested:


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.
