Alien Horror Awaits: Directive 8020 Launches May 12

The sci-fi survival horror game, Directive 8020, will be released on May 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Developed by Supermassive Games, the title places players in the role of survivors aboard a spaceship that has crash-landed on an unknown world.

Their mission becomes one of survival against an alien entity capable of mimicking its prey, drawing clear inspiration from classic horror. The narrative heavily relies on player choices, forcing difficult decisions that could risk individual lives or the entire crew's safety.

Directive 8020 introduces a 'Turning Points' mechanic, enabling players to revisit previous choices to explore alternative story paths and endings. For a more intense experience, a permadeath mode is also available, eliminating the option to backtrack.
