Nightdive Studios has revealed the official PC system requirements for The Thing: Remastered. Moreover, the team also shared its first gameplay trailer which you can find below.

The Thing: Remastered will feature antialiasing, per-pixel lighting, support for 4K resolutions and up to 144FPS. PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-3570 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X with 2GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 TI or AMD HD 7750. The game will be using the DX11 API, and it will require 5GB of free disk space.

Nightdive recommends using an Intel Core i5-6600k or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with 4GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD RX Vega 56.

The devs did not specify the graphics settings, resolution and framerate that these PC requirements target. However, we can assume that the recommended PC specs are for gaming at 1080p/Max Settings with 60fps.

In short, like most of Nightdive’s remasters, you won’t need a high-end PC system.

The game’s first gameplay trailer leaves a lot to be desired. At first glance, it looks way too similar to the original version. Or at least that’s the vibe I get. Since this Nightdive, I have been expecting a better visual upgrade. From the looks of it, this remaster is nowhere close to the Tomb Raider or the Legacy of Kain remasters.

Finally, although there is no specific ETA, Nightdive claims that the game will be released later this year.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
