We already knew it was coming, thanks to a post-credits teaser at the end of 2022's The Devil in Me, but developer Supermassive has now confirmed its sci-fi horror outing Directive 8020 will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year.
Directive 8020 essentially takes one fist of Alien and another of The Thing then smushes them together, placing players aboard the colony ship Cassiopeia, where its crew must escape an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey.
"Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time," teases Supermassive. "12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realise they are far from being alone... As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth."
We now have a release date for the upcoming, current-gen version of slasher horror Until Dawn.
The game will arrive on both PC and PlayStation 5 this autumn, on 4th October. What better way to get yourself ready for the run up to halloween than doing your utmost to save that poor group of unsuspecting teens from the horrors of the night.
In addition to announcing a release date, the Until Dawn team has also shared a few details about how it has enhanced the game with changes to graphics, gameplay, story elements and "more". Before I get into all that, though, you can check out a new trailer for Until Dawn showing off some comparisons between the remaster and original below.
Supermassive Games just dropped a bombshell announcement: their latest sci-fi survival horror adventure, “Directive 8020,” is coming to PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. If you’re into games like “Until Dawn” and “The Quarry,” get ready to dive into another intense, cinematic horror ride. Directive 8020 Trailer “Directive 8020” takes things up a…
Supermassive Games have revealed the next game in The Dark Pictures Anthology and, as we found out quite a while ago, it’s called Directive 8020. This time we are off into space for some body horror, checkout the trailer.
I don’t think Supermassive would mind us saying that The Dark Pictures Anthology format had got a little stale after four games so it’s nice to see they are switching things up for this new release. “In a dramatic step forward for the series, the game features persistent real-time threats, all-new stealth gameplay mechanics, and enhanced interactive cinematics powered by Unreal Engine 5,” they say.
The game will feature Hollywood actor Lashana Lynch who you may have caught in Bob Marley: One Love or the superb The Woman King. Here’s more from Supermassive:
“Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realize they are far from being alone.”
“Hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey, the crew of the Cassiopeia must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth. In space, death takes many forms.
Next-Gen Cinematic Survival Horror – Experience immersive cinematic storytelling and edge-of-your-seat horror on a deep space mission to save humanity.
Real-Time Alien Threats – Evade a deadly alien threat that roams the dark corridors of the ship, intent on eradicating human life. Overcome your enemies using improvised weapons, lightning reflexes, and stealth.
Trust No One – Encounter an alien lifeform that perfectly imitates its prey. Years of training and trust are lost among the crew when their enemy hides in plain sight. Who is human and who is not? Your choices are now more important than ever!”
May 31: Little Nightmares III has been delayed, and will not be making it out this year as originally planned. Bandai Namco now intends to publish the title in 2025. Little Nightmares III was first unveiled at Gamescom last August. It’s a notable shift for the series as the first two titles were made by Tarsier Studios. This one is...
There's a new instalment of Supermassive's Dark Pictures anthology series on the way, and it's set in Outer Space, wherein you'll find the Darkest Pictures of all. Out in 2025, Directive 8020 is the story of the good ship Cassiopeia, a human colony vessel that is infiltrated by Something Icky. The Something Icky is capable of mimicking humans. So that'd be a bit like Alien and a bit like The Thing, then. Sorry, human colonists!
Directive 8020 was teased at the end of the last Dark Pictures instalment, 2022's The Devil in Me. A trailer also leaked back in November 2022. Now, we have an official announcement video.

I’m hugely excited to announce Directive 8020 – an all-new sci-fi survival horror adventure coming in 2025 from Supermassive Games.
Directive 8020 is an all-new sci-fi survival horror adventure with all the immersive cinematic gameplay that you’d expect from a Supermassive game but now with even more features and player agency than we have ever done before.
So, first let’s start with the Story. Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years away the planet Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope, but when the colony ship Cassiopeia crashes onto the planet the crew soon realize they’re far from alone.
Hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey, the crew of the Cassiopeia must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. As they battle to survive, they are confronted with the hardest choice of all: to save themselves, they must risk the lives of everyone on Earth.
Naturally, as it’s a Supermassive horror game – things are not going to go to plan for our pioneering crew!
Across the game, you’ll explore the claustrophobic, stranded wreck of our recon ship, the Cassiopeia. A dark, terrifying location filled with horrors. Our game draws inspiration from different sci-fi horror films: from Alien through to Event Horizon. Like many of those movies, this game explores themes of sci-fi horror. We are adrift in space, insignificant and inconsequential compared to the vastness of space. The universe itself is uncaring and comfortless.
In space, death takes many forms
We also lean into body horror. Our alien entity has a grotesque design: warped flesh, bubbling, pustule-like eyes, and polymorphous form. Worse of all, it can reform its body to mimic any one of your crew. You must decide who to trust in a world where anyone could be a deadly alien impostor.
Over the course of the game you’ll control five crew members and play each of them multiple times – their fate rests in your hands as each crew member under your control lives or dies based on your actions. This is a branching horror adventure where your decisions shape the final outcome of the story. But it wont be easy – for the first time in a Dark Pictures game you will face real-time threats.
Intelligent, Hunter/Killer aliens which will track you down and murder you if you slip up. This is pure “on the sticks” gameplay and is completely new for the Dark Pictures. To survive, you’ll need to hide, evade, and overcome a variety of monsters. There is no comfort in exploration anymore – if you don’t keep your wits about you, it could spell the end for your character.
We’ve completely redesigned our character movement controls to support stealth. You’ll need to adapt to each new threat you face. There are many different stages of what we call ‘mimics’ in the game, from humanlike characters who act normally but are not human all, to a full blown hunter form where any attempt at mimicry has been abandoned in favour of brute force.
The DNA of the Dark Pictures is still present though – in fact, everything you love about the Dark Pictures is still here, from branching plotlines through to impossible choices. But as you’ll see, we’ve redesigned, polished, and amped up our gameplay from the ground up to lean more into sci-fi survival horror.
And finally, just like our previous games we’re super proud to have another amazing star feature in our cast. In Directive 8020 we have Lashana Lynch at the helm. You’ll recognize Lashana from movies such as 007 No Time to Die, The Woman King, Captain Marvel and Bob Marley: One Love. Lashana plays the role of Brianna Young, the pilot of the Cassiopeia. She is one of Earth’s best astronauts and the survival of the crew, and potentially Earth, is partly in her hands – and yours depending on how you play the game!
Hororový titul od společností Supermassive a Bandai Namco vyjde pro PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch a PC někdy v roce 2025.
Supermassive Games toho má na kontě spoustu, od The Casting of Frank Stone po Directive 8020, ale Little Nightmares 3 stále patří k nejzajímavějším připravovaným titulům studia. A přestože si na něj ještě nějakou dobu počkáme, jak již bylo dříve potvrzeno, hororový titul se nedávno na Gamescom Opening Night Live dočkal dalšího představení s novým trailerem.
Ve hře Little Nightmares 3 budou opět v centru pozornosti dvě klíčové postavy a tento trailer se zaměřuje na jejich spojení a ukazuje, jak si Low a Alone budou navzájem pomáhat překonat mnoho strastiplných a děsivých překážek, na které během své cesty narazí. Na rozdíl od svého předchůdce má hra Little Nightmares 3 samozřejmě podporovat i kooperaci, což přidá další vrstvu toho, jak budou moci obě postavy spolupracovat. Níže se podívejte na trailer.
Hra Little Nightmares 3 vyjde v roce 2025 pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch a PC.

The upcoming movie adaptation of Supermassive's horror Until Dawn sees Peter Stormare reprise his role from the game, psychiatrist Dr Hill.
Whilst it remains unclear how, exactly, the movie will account for the game's myriad of deaths, survivals, and endings, Stormare's casting at least hints that Supermassive's trademark player "guide" will be making an appearance.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stormare will be joined by Maia Mitchell and Belmont Cameli, although what roles they'll play remains under wraps for now.

Hororová adventura pro jednoho hráče od společnosti Supermassive se odehrává ve světě Dead by Daylight a bude k dispozici pro PC a konzole současné generace.
Společnost Behaviour Interactive oznámila datum vydání hororové adventury pro jednoho hráče The Casting of Frank Stone, která se odehrává ve světě Dead by Daylight a kterou vyvíjí studio Supermassive Games (Until Dawn a The Dark Pictures).
The Casting of Frank Stone vyjde 3. září. Film se odehrává v 80. letech minulého století a bude vyprávět příběh skupiny dospívajících kamarádů, kteří se vydají do ocelárny v Oregonu, která je známá jako místo hrůzných zločinů z minulosti, v naději, že zde natočí dokumentární film s názvem „Murder Mill“.
Stejně jako předchozí hororové adventury od studia Supermassive, které mohou fanoušci tohoto studia znát, se hra bude do značné míry točit kolem mechaniky volby a důsledků, přičemž činy a rozhodnutí hráče ovlivní, jak se bude příběh vyvíjet a které postavy budou žít nebo zemřou. Níže se podívejte na trailer.
Předobjednávky na titul byly spuštěny, přičemž cena standardní edice je 39,99 dolarů, vedle edice Deluxe, která se prodává za 49,99 dolarů. Ta bude kromě několika herních bonusů, kosmetických doplňků a dalších věcí obsahovat také funkci The Cutting Room Floor, která hráčům umožní vracet se ke klíčovým bodům hry a činit různá rozhodnutí, měnit osudy postav a nacházet skryté sběratelské předměty.
Po svém zářijovém vydání bude hra The Casting of Frank Stone k dispozici na PS5, Xboxu řady X/S a PC.
Společnosti Supermassive Games a Bandai Namco oznámily, že hra Little Nightmares III byla odložena na rok 2025. Vývojář a vydavatel se o tuto zprávu podělili na Twitteru/X:
Od oznámení hry Little Nightmares III na loňském veletrhu gamescom jsme s nadšením sledovali, jak naše komunita žije vzrušením a očekáváním. Týmy Supermassive Games a Bandai Namco Europe tvrdě pracovaly na tom, aby nám poskytly co nejlepší zážitek z dalšího dílu série. Stejně jako se nemůžeme dočkat, až se do Nowhere vrátíte, chceme se také ujistit, že hře věnujeme péči a lásku, kterou si zaslouží. Kvalita je pro nás nejvyšší prioritou a víme, že vy to cítíte stejně. Z tohoto důvodu jsme se rozhodli posunout vydání hry na rok 2025. Více informací o hře Little Nightmares III se s vámi podělíme ještě letos v létě, takže s námi prosím mějte strpení a těšte se na další novinky.
Hra byla oznámena minulý rok během živého vystoupení Geoffa Keighleyho na Gamescom Opening Night Live. Zde je to málo, co o Little Nightmares III víme:
Ve hře Little Nightmares III budete sledovat cestu dvojice Low & Alone, která hledá cestu, jež by je mohla vyvést z Nikdykde. Uvězněni ve Spirále, shluku znepokojivých míst, budou muset oba přátelé spolupracovat, aby přežili v nebezpečném světě plném přeludů a unikli ze spárů ještě větší hrozby číhající ve stínech.
Poprvé v sérii můžete čelit svým dětským strachům společně s kamarádem v online kooperaci nebo sólo se společníkem s umělou inteligencí.
Little Nightmares III vyjde pro PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X a Nintendo Switch.
Supermassive Games has delayed the release of Little Nightmares 3, saying it needs "a little extra time to prepare".
In a statement posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the Dark Pictures developer said that "as much as [it] can't wait for you to return to the Nowhere", "quality is a top priority" and that's why it's decided to "shift the release of the game to 2025".
"Ever since the announcement of Little Nightmares 3 at Gamescom last year, we've been thrilled to see our community buzzing with excitement and anticipation," the team said.
Sony's PlayStation State of Play May Showcase 2024 may have been announced at short notice, but packed within its 35-minute presentation we got a look at a whole host of brand-new PS5 games coming in 2024 and beyond. There were also two new PSVR2 games announced here, as well as the surprise return of one of PlayStation's most beloved mascots, Astro Bot.
Whether you missed the showcase or just want a handy round-up of all the trailers again, here's everything that was announced in Sony's State of Play May Showcase.
First up, we got a long-awaited look at Concord, Firewalk's upcoming PvP shooter, both in the form of a cinematic vignette and a proper gameplay trailer (embedded below). Big Guardians of the Galaxy energy, this one. Lots of big guns, lots of colourful moons and planets, and a very chatty cast. Could this be the perfect second course after Helldivers earlier this year? We'll find out when it launches on PS5 and PC on August 23rd 2024.
Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco announced that Little Nightmares 3 is delayed. Instead of appearing in 2024 as planned, it will now launch in 2025.
Supermassive Games released a statement going into why Little Nightmares 3 is delayed alongside the announcement. It essentially noted the goal is to ensure the overall quality of the experience. As such, to ensure it meets expectations, its release window is being pushed out of this year. As a reminder, there was no exact quarter set for the game initially, so we don’t know exactly how long this delay will be.
Here’s the official announcement made on social media:
Little Nightmares 3 first appeared at gamescom Opening Night Live 2023. There are few details about characters and the story just yet. However, it will be a multiplayer experience.
This installment marks the first time Supermassive has been completely responsible for a game in the Little Nightmares series. Tarsier Studios created the first and second installments. Supermassive only became involved when the Enhanced Edition of Little Nightmares 2 was made for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Little Nightmares 3 is delayed until 2025. People will be able to find it on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC when it does debut.
Supermassive Games, the Guildford-based developer behind Until Dawn, The Quarry and the Dark Pictures anthology horror series, has announced job losses "with deep regret".
The studio confirmed it would shed staff via a statement posted to social media platform X, in which it blamed "significant challenges" facing the games industry to which it was not "immune".
A Bloomberg report states around 150 people were told their jobs were at risk this morning, with around 90 staff eventually expected to leave the business following a consultation period. Supermassive is believed to currently employ around 350 staff in total.
Supermassive Games have announced a period of consultation and reorganisation that will end in job losses, as the Until Dawn developers try "to ensure the continued sustainability of the company". It follows a report that studio leadership told 150 people their jobs were at risk earlier today, with around 90 staff expected to eventually leave the business following the consultation.
