The February 12, 2025, PlayStation State of Play included the first ever story reveal trailer for Supermassive Games' upcoming sci-fi horror game Directive 8020, which will kick off Season 2 of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Directive 8020 was originally teased during a mid-credits roll in The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, and players have now been given a sneak peek into the next horrifying story from Supermassive.
Following the success of the hit horror game Until Dawn, Supermassive Games began releasing smaller titles under the branding of The Dark Pictures Anthology. These independent stories feature similar gameplay elements, like the key choice-based storytelling introduced in Until Dawn, but differ greatly in the types of horror they showcase. Supermassive has said that it intends for The Dark Pictures Anthology to consist of eight games in total, and with Season 1 ending after a fourth release, players can get a first look at how Directive 8020 will bring new terrors to the second half of the anthology's releases.
Though it looks to be a dramatic departure from the source material, the Until Dawn movie could give Supermassive an interesting path forward.
