The Thing: Remastered Getting Surprise Release on December 5
The Thing: Remastered is getting a surprise release on December 5, giving fans of John Carpenter a treat ahead of the holiday season. Intended as a sequel to 1982’s horror film The Thing, Nightdive Studio’s third-person shooter is a must-play for fans and newcomers alike.
The Thing: Remastered, originally announced earlier this year, is a remastered version of the 2002 third-person survival horror. A sequel to the 1982 film, the game continues the story, with players forced to explore outpost 31 and find out what happened to the missing research team.
Developer Nightdive Studios, who did the recent System Shock, Rise of the Triad, and Blade Runner remaster, has planned to release The Thing: Remastered in December since the game’s announcement. Although the developer has not revealed an exact release date, Microsoft’s Xbox Wire has let it slip that the horror is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on December 5.
What’s New in The Thing: Remastered?
As Cpt J.F. Blake, a U.S. Special Forces rescue team leader, players will find themselves in a blood-curdling fight for survival against a shape-shifting alien life-form. Players can expect 20 levels, an advanced trust and fear system, and multiple paths.
Nightdive Studios has developed The Thing: Remastered for the modern era. Expect new dynamic lighting, improved models, enhanced textures, 4K resolution, up to 144 FPS, and quality-of-life improvements. And that’s not to mention the machine guns, flamethrowers, and terrifying monsters lurking around every corner. Outpost 31 and the frozen wastelands of Antarctica truly come alive in horrifying detail in The Thing: Remastered.
Why The Thing is a Horror Classic
John Carpenter’s The Thing was first released in 1982, and although it got mixed reviews from critics, audiences found it a terrifying experience. The focus on human drama and internal conflicts, while showing the effect paranoia can have when people reach their breaking point, made The Thing stand out in the horror genre.
Since the film’s release, it has gained a cult following and is now considered a masterpiece by many horror fans. Although we never got a second film, The Thing: Remastered continues the story, and its unique mechanics and exploration of trust and paranoia among characters make it a great addition to the franchise and a worthy successor to the film.
Release Details and Where to Play
A surprise release date of December 5 has been given by Xbox Wire, despite no news from developer Nightdive Studios. The Thing: Remastered is launching on Xbox, the PlayStation Store, and Steam. Get ready to return to the icy, isolated outpost, facing paranoia-inducing gameplay and an ever-changing alien threat.
