Supermassive Games announced that their new game, Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game, will be released on May 12th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (through Steam). You can pre-order the game now on consoles and receive a free upgrade to the Digital Deluxe edition.
Here is an overview of the game, via Supermassive Games:
About
Our planet is facing a crisis, and time is quickly running out for humanity. A distant world, Tau Ceti f, twelve light-years away, seemed like a possible refuge. But when the colony ship Cassiopeia crashes on its surface, the crew discovers they aren’t the only inhabitants.
The crew of the spaceship Cassiopeia is being chased by a dangerous alien that can disguise itself as anything it hunts. They need to use all their cunning to escape and return home, but they soon face an impossible dilemma: the only way to save themselves might mean endangering the entire planet Earth.
In space, death takes many forms.
Key Features
- Alien Invasion – The colony ship Cassiopeia is infected with an alien organism, capable of transforming into any member of the crew. While you may be human, others in your crew may not be, and killers can hide behind familiar eyes. New stealth mechanics have been added to help players evade these deadly foes: you must keep your wits about you as enemies can emerge from unexpected places, and you’ll need to sneak and hide to get past these deadly alien stalkers.
- Brave Recruits – Introducing the Cassiopeia’s crew. You’ll control five crew members over the course of this expedition, but as paranoia and fear builds, so does distrust. With their lives in your hands, your decisions will determine not only the crew’s fate, but all of humanity’s, too.
- New Mechanics – Directive 8020 introduces several new tools. Throughout the game, you can use these to locate secrets, solve puzzles and overcome enemies. The mission is all about survival, so every tool has its purpose in helping you think on your feet and stay alive.
- The Flashlight – As is to be expected from our games, you’ll spend a lot of time creeping around in the dark! Just be careful when using your flashlight, as aliens can spot the beam.
- The Scanner – You’ll have a scanner at your disposal for detecting electronics and remotely activating systems, helping to distract enemies and overcome obstacles.
- The Messenger – Your messenger lets you communicate and strategize with crewmates while staying under the radar.
- The Wedge Tool – Made for opening doors… but as a last resort, can also be used as a weapon to temporarily stun enemies, giving you a chance to slip away and evade death.
