Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has filled the void left by the demise of E3. The event is marked on many calendars, as the fourth installment is slated for Friday, June 7. We can be sure of seeing a combination of footage for upcoming games and new reveals.
The latter is always exciting, with people making many predictions of what they hope to see announced at the event. These predictions are usually for existing franchises and titles, but it’s the completely fresh games that always spark the greatest conversations. Nightdive Studios may be gunning for that goal with their latest teaser.
Nightdive Studios is Bringing Some ‘Thing’ Interesting to Summer Game Fest
Nothing hits quite like a good horror game. They are few and far between, but the ones that do it well go down in gaming history and even become genre-defining titles. Some iconic horror titles that come to mind areSilent Hill,Dead Space, andAmnesia, but these merely scratch the surface. Every year we get new additions, and now Nightdive Studios is jumping into the mix.

In a recent tweet via their official X handle, the studio teased they would be announcing a new game this Friday. Along with this tweet, we have an image of what appears to be a face covered by a thin layer of organic matter. The image, as has been discussed in the replies to the tweet, is a reference to John Carpenter’s 1982 horror movieThe Thing.

People are no doubt speculating what genre of horror Nightdive’s soon-to-be-revealed title will be. If the game is a remake of the 2002 PlayStation 2 title of the same name, we can expect a third-person survival shooter experience similar toDead SpaceandAlan Wake.
Another possibility would be to create an experience such asUntil DawnorThe Quarry, where player decisions are key to advancing the story. It could also create avenues for a game with multiple endings based on these decisions.
