Of no surprise to anyone given Nightdive's not exactly subtle tease earlier this week, cult classic squad-based survival horror shooter The Thing is getting a remaster - and it's launching later this year on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC. It casts players as United States Army Special Forces member Captain Blake, who heads to the Antarctic outpost seen in the movie to find out what happened to its ill-fated research team. Watch on YouTube But now, back in 2024, retro specialist Nightdive Studios has announced it's working its magic on The Thing, promising improvements to character models, textures, and animations, plus updated lighting and atmospheric effects All this will run at up to 4K 120fps on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with achievements and trophies also being added.
