Supermassive Games Unveils Directive 8020 – What to Expect

Supermassive Games has unveiled their upcoming horror title, Directive 8020, during the opening ceremony of Gamescom 2024. Set to launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, this new installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology introduces a sci-fi twist where players must escape from an alien on a spaceship. Notably, the alien can assume the appearance of other characters, adding a layer of distrust among players as they navigate the story. True to the franchise's roots, player choices will significantly impact character outcomes, but Directive 8020 also promises innovative gameplay mechanics such as 'real-time danger', stealth elements, and the use of improvised weapons.

Directive 8020 will incorporate innovative elements like real-time danger, stealth mechanics, and the ability for players to craft and use improvised weapons, setting it apart from previous titles in The Dark Pictures Anthology series.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of cinematic horror games that focuses on interactive storytelling and player choice, with each title presenting a unique narrative experience. The previous installments have included titles like Man of Medan and Little Hope, which have gained popularity for their gripping suspense and branching storylines that keep players engaged.
