The Next Dark Pictures Horror Game, Directive 8020, Will Change How The Series Plays

Supermassive's Directive 8020 aims to redefine horror gaming by combining traditional interactive storytelling with new real-time threats, utilizing stealth mechanics and shapeshifting creatures.

The game introduces improvised weaponry and a constant sense of danger, reminiscent of Alien: Isolation, where players must navigate an ever-present monster in their decisions.

With a crew of doomed characters facing an alien threat, Directive 8020 builds on classic horror tropes, merging rich narrative choices with high-stakes gameplay.

Set to release in 2025, Directive 8020 promises to expand The Dark Pictures Anthology while honoring the franchise's roots in exploration and character relationships.
