We already knew it was coming, thanks to a post-credits teaser at the end of 2022's The Devil in Me, but developer Supermassive has now confirmed its sci-fi horror outing Directive 8020 will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realise they are far from being alone... As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth." A press release accompanying today's Directive 8020 reveal trailer suggests something a little more ambitious compared to earlier titles in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology series, with talk of persistent real-time threats, improvised weapons, stealth mechanics, and "intense survival gameplay", alongside the usual branching narrative storyline.
