The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to the genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios to bring this innovative blend of fast paced squad action meets survival horror to the modern era.

Where the movie ended, the true terror begins.

You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie ★★★★★

The lighting and texture upgrades really make the claustrophobic corridors pop, and the squad commands are finally responsive enough to feel tactical. I’ve been playing through on the Switch in handheld mode, and it runs smoothly with no noticeable frame drops.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The squad AI actually holds its own during the frantic firefights, which makes the remastered co-op feel way more tense than I remember from 2002. Runs smoothly in handheld mode with the flashlight casting those creepy shadows across the Outpost, exactly how the original film felt.

Sophia O. ★★★★★

I’ve been playing through on Switch and the 60fps makes the old combat feel way smoother than I expected. The atmosphere from the film is perfectly preserved with the remastered audio and lighting.
