Nightdive Studios continues with its wave of classic remasters, with its next big one being for the 2002 cult hit video game The Thing. Announced earlier this year, The Thing Remastered will feature a host of improvements to help modernize it for today’s gaming machine, and to help demonstrate these improvements, Nightdive Studios have released a brand-new gameplay trailer for The Thing Remasterd. 

The Thing Remastered Gameplay Will Have You Guessing Who’s the Imposter
