"From Supermassive Games, the developers behind Until Dawn and The Quarry, comes a new narrative sci-fi survival horror, Directive 8020. The game launches May 12th—here’s everything you need to know before boarding the mission to save humanity.
You control 5 pioneering astronauts as they embark into the dark abyss of space, hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey.
You’ll recognise Supermassive’s iconic branching plotlines, split second QTE’s and impossible choices. Directive 8020’s gameplay dials up the horror even more, introducing stealth mechanics where exploration can be fatal.
Another brand-new feature, Turning Points, allows players to revisit key points of the game and alter their choices to experience different outcomes.
The game can be played alone, or you can recruit up to four friends to join your mission in offline movie night mode, with online multiplayer arriving in a free post-launch update.
Pre-Orders are open across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and now Steam. For a limited time only, order now and receive the Digital Deluxe Upgrade at no additional cost."
