During the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted livestream, Nightdive Studios announced the immediate digital release of The Thing: Remastered on Windows PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the game’s availability to stream in the cloud for NVIDIA GeForce NOW members.
Nightdive Studios, with Universal Products & Experiences, has upgraded this horrifying classic for the modern era through its proprietary KEX Engine for play on current-generation gaming devices up to a 4K resolution at 120FPS. Improvements to character models, textures, and animations have been hand-crafted by Nightdive Studios, with the implementation of advanced 3D rendering for updated lighting and atmospheric effects. The result is a suspenseful and disgustingly detailed remaster that reanimates the thrilling game for modern audiences.
“In keeping true to the spirit of one of the most iconic alien organisms in pop culture, The Thing: Remastered has emerged when you’d have least expected it,” said Larry Kuperman, Nightdive Studios’ Director of Business Development. “For the whole Nightdive crew, it has been an honor working with Universal and members of the original development team to not only remaster The Thing video game but deliver on the original vision for the game. We hope fans worldwide enjoy their return to Outpost #31.”
