Multiplayer mavens in our community will probably be excited to know that Propaganda Games‘ Turok (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)  Velociraptor pack will be hitting both the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Store very soon. In addition, PC gamers will be excited to know that details about the game’s PC launch have also been revealed. Head on over to the full article for more.

If you can’t get enough of Propaganda Games‘ Turok (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC), then you might want to know that the Velociraptor pack will be hitting both the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points and the Playstation Network for US$ 4.99 tomorrow.

In addition, PC gamers who want to get hold of this title will be happy to know that it has already been dated.

The Velociraptor pack is said to contain five different maps, all for multiplayer. The set includes two new multiplayer maps, one new co-op map and two relit versions of the maps included in the game. Here’s a short description of each map:

• 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 KaneÂ’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.

The second bit of news details the launch information of the PC version of Turok. The game is expected to be available by April 22 for US$ 49.99. Like its console counterparts, Turok for the PC will get this DLC.

Before we go, we just got word that the publisher of Turok, Touchstone, has announced that this game has shipped one million copies worldwide. Congratulations to the developers and publisher on that achievement!
