We've been very intrigued by The Thing: Remastered ever since it was announced for Xbox back in the summer, and considering it's always been planned for a 2024 release, we assume we'll be getting it very soon indeed.
There might actually be a date set in stone as well. Xbox Wire is reporting today that Thursday, December 5th is the release date for The Thing: Remastered, even though a date hasn't been announced by the publisher as of yet.
"The Thing: Remastered – December 5
Optimized for Xbox Series X|S / Smart Delivery"
These roundups don't always get everything 100% spot on, so there's a chance it's a placeholder date that accidentally squeezed into the article - but we're assuming the game isn't far off a release in any case.
Anyway, we've contacted the game's PR team to try and find out more, and we'll let you know once we have concrete details on launch timings. We're really excited to check out this blast from the past - a classic from the OG Xbox era!

What an excellent couple of months
***** yeah I know what I'm playing through December
Not a fan of remasters, but watched the movie a few weeks ago, so now I'm tempted.
If it comes out next Thursday, I'll be playing it next Thursday.
I've been wondering when this was going to drop. I'm going to hold off on a day 1 purchase juuuust in case this turns into another BLOOD incident, but I'm really excited for this. John Carpenter even endorsed this game back when it came out, which I think makes it canonical?
(Edit: If you're curious what "Blood Incident" means, it refers to a weird situation where Nightdive botched the release of another game they remastered. They DID fix the issues with patches, but it released as a weird mess. Summary of the incident in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkG29e-nE-A )
I might of played this back in the day not sure but I will definitely be buying this!
I loved the film and it looks very good despite it's age from what I seen hopefully it's about 20 quid and nothing crazy otherwise I'll get it on sale!
I'm psyched that Nightdive is finally close to releasing. Hope the GOG release will be soon after
Apparently, they've made some meaningful changes to what was already a memorable game, so I'm looking forward to supporting this one!
Out on the Xbox store!
