In celebration of the 22nd anniversary of the North American release of the cult-classic horror game The Thing, Nightdive Studios has revealed a fresh glimpse at The Thing: Remastered. The remastered version, set to unleash alien terror on PC and console gamers later this year, promises to bring the horrifying atmosphere of the original game to a new generation of players.

The Thing: Remastered is a faithful restoration of the 2002 third-person survival horror shooter, inspired by Universal Pictures’ iconic 1982 film, The Thing. Utilizing their proprietary KEX Engine, Nightdive Studios has meticulously upgraded the game for modern platforms, allowing gameplay in stunning 4K resolution at 120FPS. Fans of the original will appreciate the improved character models, textures, and animations, all enhanced by advanced 3D rendering, updated lighting, and atmospheric effects. The result is a remaster that retains the heart of the original while infusing it with modern-day visuals and performance.

Set in the icy arctic wasteland, The Thing: Remastered plunges players into the harrowing aftermath of a shape-shifting alien’s attack on the U.S. Outpost #31 research facility. As Captain J.F. Blake, the leader of a United States Army Special Forces rescue team, players must navigate the treacherous environment, build trust within their squad, and survive against the lurking alien threat. The remastered game retains the tension and paranoia that made the original so gripping, now amplified by the grotesquely detailed visuals and suspenseful atmosphere crafted by Nightdive Studios.

Eager fans who have been waiting to witness the gruesome new visuals can now feast their eyes on the newly released 4K screenshots below. The Thing: Remastered is shaping up to be a terrifyingly immersive experience for both veteran players and newcomers alike
