CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 CUDIMMs stand out from previous VENGEANCE DDR5 offerings with a sleek mirrored silver finish, adding a refined aesthetic to any build. Ten individually addressable RGB LEDs illuminate your build with customizable lighting effects, enhanced by a panoramic light bar that extends to the module’s edges, providing vibrant RGB lighting from nearly any viewing angle. In addition to dynamic RGB customization and synchronization across your setup, iCUE Software serves as a complete DDR5 command center, enabling real-time frequency monitoring and onboard voltage regulation within a single, coherent interface.

Today, during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted livestream, Nightdive Studios — renowned video game remaster developer and subsidiary of Atari®, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — announced the immediate digital release of The Thing: Remastered on Windows PC, PlayStation® 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the game’s availability to stream in the cloud for NVIDIA GeForce NOW members.

Created in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, The Thing: Remastered is a faithful HD restoration of the cult-classic 2002 third-person survival horror shooter game inspired by Universal Pictures’ genre-defining 1982 film, The Thing.

Where the film ends, a new terror begins.

Nightdive Studios, with Universal Products & Experiences, has upgraded this horrifying classic for the modern era through its proprietary KEX Engine for play on current-generation gaming devices up to a 4K resolution at 120FPS. Improvements to character models, textures, and animations have been hand-crafted by Nightdive Studios, with the implementation of advanced 3D rendering for updated lighting and atmospheric effects. The result is a suspenseful and disgustingly detailed remaster that reanimates the thrilling game for modern audiences.

“In keeping true to the spirit of one of the most iconic alien organisms in pop culture, The Thing: Remastered has emerged when you’d have least expected it,” said Larry Kuperman, Nightdive Studios’ Director of Business Development. “For the whole Nightdive crew, it has been an honor working with Universal and members of the original development team to not only remaster The Thing video game but deliver on the original vision for the game. We hope fans worldwide enjoy their return to Outpost #31.”

In the frozen arctic tundra, a mysterious shape-shifting alien has wiped out the crew of the U.S. Outpost #31 research facility. In The Thing: Remastered, players step into the boots of Captain J.F. Blake, the leader of a United States Army Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events that transpired in the original The Thing film. Trapped by the elements and at risk of infection by a horrific entity, Blake must keep his squad together to survive by gaining their trust and ensuring that their fear and paranoia don’t get the best of them… or himself.

The Thing: Remastered Key Features:

Return to U.S. Outpost #31: Continue the story of The Thing and face off against terrifying monsters, from scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to gigantic multi-tentacled level bosses
Who Goes There?: Command a squad of up to four NPCs from Soldier, Medic, and Engineer character classes through the game’s 11 frightening levels
The Warmest Place to Hide: Someone in your squad may not be who they appear to be. The shape-shifting alien hides inside an imitation, so keep a watchful eye
Don’t Lose It: Gain the trust of your squad members and minimize their fear levels lest they become defiant or, worse, succumb to paranoia
Ultimate Alien Terror: Upgraded models, textures, and animations hand-crafted by Nightdive, plus enhanced lighting and atmospheric effects
Stunning Visuals: Up to 4K 120FPS visuals on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S
Checkmate: Trophies and Achievements on Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles
