Supermassive Games Unveils New Trailer & Turning Points Feature for Sci-Fi Horror Adventure Directive 8020

Experience the latest trailer and a deep dive into the new Turning Points feature, revealed at the Future Games Show Summer Showcase

GUILDFORD, England – June 7, 2025 – Supermassive Games today revealed a brand-new gameplay trailer for its sci-fi survival-horror narrative adventure, Directive 8020, as part of the Future Games Show Summer Showcase during Summer Game Fest - highlighting its newest feature, Turning Points.

The trailer plunges players into the heart of the spaceship Cassiopeia, demonstrating “The Scanner,” where crew members must be scanned to see if they’re human or alien. Action intensifies as the hydroponics bay is overrun by an alien substance, where two crewmates face off with alien mimics of themselves and fans are introduced to horrifying Hunter Variants of characters Cernan and Williams.

The trailer also presents a major new gameplay mechanic: Turning Points. This series-first feature gives players the ability to rewind to pivotal points in the story, replaying decisions to unlock different narrative paths, discover missed content, or change outcomes entirely, offering a new level of player control. And for players who want the full-pressure experience, Survivor Mode keeps things unforgiving with no rewinds.

Will Doyle, Creative Director, Dark Pictures at Supermassive Games, said: “With Directive 8020, we’re introducing a brand-new major gameplay feature - Turning Points. For the first time in a Dark Pictures title, players can rewind the story to key decision moments and change the outcomes. It’s an exciting step for us, especially with a story that has branching and multiple endings. It’s all about giving players more control, more replayability, and more ways to uncover every layer of the story.”

Attendees at Summer Game Fest are invited to visit Supermassive Games’ Directive 8020 booth for a hands-on experience with an exclusive demo. The demo offers a tense introduction to the game as players explore the Cassiopeia using tools like the Tap Strap, Messenger System, and Wedge Tool. The demo builds to one of the game’s major dilemmas: a detained crewmate and a split-second decision. Do you pull the trigger, or trust them?
