Hunt The Thing is an MMO based on, yep, you guessed it

This is one of those announcements that’s simply too out of left field not to post. Partnering with Universal Pictures, NEVERDIE Studios has made a free, “movie-length” massively multiplayer online game based on the impending The Thing prequel.

Hunt The Thing is built using CryEngine 2 and allows you to play as a scientist or a soldier. Yes, there’s even blood samples. In order to try this out, you’ll need to download NEVERDIE’s ROCKtropia Virtual World, which acts as a hub. Might just be worth a look.
