Supermassive Games has announced Directive 8020, a sci-fi survival horror narrative adventure launching May 12, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game is now available for pre-order across console platforms, with PC pre-orders coming soon. Physical and digital versions will be available for consoles, while Steam will offer digital-only distribution.

Pre-orders include a free Deluxe Edition upgrade while retail stocks last, featuring the Dark Pictures Outfit Pack, Collectables, Cinematic Filter Pack, Digital Soundtrack, and Digital Artbook. The game introduces Turning Points, a new feature allowing players to rewind and revisit key decisions, catering to both completionists and those seeking a classic Dark Pictures experience with permanent consequences.

The Comply Pre-Order Trailer showcases the game's paranoia-fuelled decision-making, where players must navigate trust issues among crew members.

The trailer also teases on-planet gameplay on the alien landscape of Tau Ceti f, featuring Lashana Lynch as pilot Brianna Young.
