Thanks to the Xbox Wire, the upcoming horror title "The Thing Remastered" has a new presumed release date. Fortunately, fans of the classic 1982 horror movie don't have to wait much longer to get their hands on this upcoming sequel.

Nightdive Studios upcoming remaster of the well-regarded game The Thing (2002) has just received a leaked release date courtesy of the Xbox Wire. Their post "Next Week on Xbox: New Games for December 2 to 6" reports that The Thing Remastered is now set to release on December 5, 2024. Like the 2002 game, The Thing Remastered is a direct sequel to the 1982 cult classic film "The Thing" but features some exciting improvements for the new release.

The game follows Captain Blake as he and a U.S. special forces squad investigate the mysterious happenings at Outpost 31. It is a third-person shooter that maintains many of the most popular elements found in horror survival shooters. Players must solve puzzles, work as a team, and make tough decisions as they try to navigate the deadly Antarctic landscape while evading alien shapeshifters.

The Thing Remastered will also feature improved graphics and textures and build on the immersive world the original has come to be known for. Additionally, the game will feature an all-new trust and fear system that will improve players' interactions with NPCs by making their interactions feel more realistic and increase the overall tensions. However, fans are also hopeful that the remake will improve the shortcomings of the original title. Many players have noted that the level design in the original became monotonous and that a few gameplay mechanics seemed unrefined. Thankfully, Nightdive Studios has been committed to fixing these issues and aims to release a fun yet terrifying horror game next week.
