Nightdive Studios Revives THE THING: REMASTERED For Modern Gaming Platforms

At the inaugural IGN Live event, Nightdive Studios, announced a bone-chilling comeback with The Thing: Remastered. In collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, this remastered gem will be terrorizing gamers on Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation® 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year.

The Thing: Remastered is a loving restoration of the 2002 third-person survival horror shooter, itself a spine-tingling continuation of Universal Pictures' legendary 1982 film, The Thing. Nightdive Studios has meticulously upgraded this horror classic using their proprietary KEX Engine, making it scarier and more visually stunning than ever with up to 4K resolution at 120FPS. Expect spine-tingling improvements to character models, textures, and animations, all enhanced by advanced 3D rendering for eerie lighting and atmospheric effects. This remaster is set to reanimate the terrifying game for today's audiences with disgustingly delightful detail.

Players will be plunged into the frozen Arctic wasteland, where a shape-shifting alien has decimated the crew of the U.S. Outpost #31 research facility. In The Thing: Remastered, you'll step into the sturdy boots of Captain J.F. Blake, leading a U.S. Army Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the horrific events that unfolded in the original film. Isolated by the relentless elements and facing an unimaginable alien threat, Blake must keep his squad together, earning their trust and preventing fear and paranoia from tearing them apart—or consuming him entirely.

Prepare for chills, thrills, and paranoia when The Thing: Remastered releases digitally on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year.
