Video game remaster studio Nightdive Studios announced The Thing: Remastered today during the IGN Live, promising a faithful restoration of the third-person survival horror shooter game inspired by Universal Pictures' 1982 film, The Thing. Per the press release, Nightdive Studios has upgraded the 2002 release for the modern era using its proprietary KEX Engine for play on current-generation gaming devices. The upgrades include improvements to character models, textures, and animations, all of which are hand-crafted by Nightdive, bringing advanced 3D rendering that provides updated lighting and atmospheric effects, delivering a "suspenseful and disgustingly detailed remaster" appropriate for modern audiences.
"Many of us at Nightdive Studios are ardent fans of the horror genre, so it's been an incredible honor to work within the world of the iconic The Thing," said Larry Kuperman, Nightdive Studios' Director of Business Development. "The 1982 film is a masterpiece and truly one of the most impactful pieces of art in the horror genre. With The Thing: Remastered, we're honoring that legacy and Computer Artworks' incredible game inspired by the story that further expanded the lore."
