\nOf 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.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Thing, developed Computer Artworks and released back in 2002, serves as a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 horror movie classic. 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.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe ensuing action is a third-person shoot-y kind of thing, with players able to get assistance from jittery survivors they meet along the way as they confront all manner of sinewy, alien-inhabited monstrosities. And the game did alright for itself back in the day, managing to shift over 1m copies – but Computer Artworks’ collapse meant a planned sequel never emerged.\n<\/p>\n
