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!
