After bringing fans their fantastic remaster of The Thing this past December, Nightdive and Atari are giving them (along with physical media junkies) another reason to shell out: a physical edition of The Thing: Remastered for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Created in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, the physical edition of The Thing: Remastered hits on June 25, which happens to be the 43rd anniversary of John Carpenter‘s 1982 cult classic film.
Not only that, but there will be a Deluxe Edition of the game! Here’s the breakdown for what you get:
- Physical copy of the game
- Deluxe Edition box
- Steelbook Case
- Key art poster
- Captain Blake’s ID card replica
- Sew-on patches
The Standard Edition will retail for $29.99, while the Deluxe Edition of The Thing: Remastered will set you back $49.99. Pre-orders are available now.
The Thing: Remastered is a faithful restoration of Computer Artwork’s 2002 third-person survival horror shooter inspired by John Carpenter’s genre-defining 1982 film, The Thing. Nightdive Studios has upgraded this cult 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 — for a suspenseful and disgustingly detailed remaster that reanimates the thrilling game for modern audiences.
The Thing: Remastered is available digitally on PC via Steam and GOG, as well as on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
