Directive 8020
Learn all that you need to know for Directive 8020 before we see Directive 8020 land on all of the platforms in a few weeks
The time to lift off for Directive 8020 is getting closer and closer, so we need to know what we are all going to be getting ourselves into when May 12th gets here. Not that Supermassive Games has not been great about offering those details up to now, but it is always nice to get a refresher. You will not want to load the game up on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC without all of that knowledge. Hence, why we are back with one more look at Directive 8020 with something that will tell us everything we need to know about the game before then. At least in terms of the gameplay and features, and not much more on the story. That we will still need to play out when the game fully launches, if you are not watching someone else play it for you.
Not that there is not much to know for Directive 8020 before the date, but it does look as if the team has been able to sum it all up in a matter of a minute. Like that, this will be another title in The Dark Pictures line that will use the same branching narrative structure. As we take on the roles of a space crew that is being hunted by an alien organism that can change its shape into any of the members of the crew. From there, we will need to make choices and explore the ship so we can make sure as many of us make it home safely. To add a little bit of extra danger into the game, there does seem to be a new stealth mechanic that we will have to play with in Directive 8020 as we explore, so it will not just be a walking simulation title. Also, like many of the other titles the team has made, this one will allow us to play alone or with up to four friends, helping to make all of the choices along the way in the game. You can see all of that play out in the following video we have for the game now.

Did you learn anything new for Directive 8020 out of all of that, or is this just a refresher for those who are just learning about the title today? How do you think the stealth mechanic will function when it comes to progressing the story, and will it be able to trigger new sequences along the way? Do you like that we will be able to rewind to specific choices in the game, or would you rather have to be forced to play the whole chapter again to make a different choice?
