DreadXP’s second Indie Horror Showcase 2024 was broadcast last night, ushering in a flood of new spooky game announcements, including a new trailer for the upcoming remaster of 2002 third-person survival shooter The Thing.
At less than two minutes long, it doesn’t give away much, admittedly, but it’s our first glimpse at The Thing: Remastered’s gameplay. You can check out the teaser below, which shows off how the team at Nightdive is handling the remaster:
The Thing: Remastered takes place in a frozen arctic tundra where “a mysterious shape-shifting alien has wiped out the crew of the US Outpost #31 research facility”. You play as Captain J.F. Blake (no relation), the leader of a United States Army Special Forces rescue team sent to “investigate the blood-curdling events that transpired in the original The Thing film”.
