Everything we know about Supermassive’s Directive 8020: Story, release date, platforms, and more

The next entry in Supermassive Games’ Dark Pictures Anthology is almost here. Directive 8020 is the studio’s first foray into the vast unknown of space, with the series’ classic choice-based gameplay taking players into a spaceship and a new planet to face a horrifying, shapeshifting alien intent on killing the entire crew.

Directive 8020’s release date this spring is giving 2026 a great start with horror games (Resident Evil 9: Requiem’s release is just around the corner). With a sprawling story, plenty of ways to experience agonizing character deaths, and a multiplayer mode, Directive 8020 is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
