Nightdive Studios to Remake 'The Thing' and Release 'The Thing Remastered' This Year

On June 8th, TapTechNews reported that the Nightdive Studios announced at the 2024 Summer Game Festival that it is remaking the 2002 survival horror game 'The Thing' and plans to release 'The Thing: Remastered' by the end of this year.

'The Thing: Remastered' will improve character models, textures, and animations, which are handcrafted by Nightdive and use advanced 3D rendering techniques to enhance the ambient light and atmosphere effects.

The game 'The Thing: Remastered' will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam) later this year. TapTechNews has attached relevant screenshots as follows:

The game is a sequel to the 1982 film of the same name 'The Thing', and the protagonist is Captain Blake: he is a member of the US Special Forces and is ordered to go to the Antarctic outpost in the film to investigate the encounter of the research team, and the story unfolds from here.

The basic gameplay method of 'The Thing' is no different from that of a traditional third-person shooter game; the protagonist Blake can jog and shoot, crouch, interact with the surrounding environmental facilities, interact with the team members and use other military supplies, such as a flashlight.
