Directive 8020 preview: Space madness

A different feeling horror game, but one that’s shaping up to be juist as tense and dark as we’d expect

Directive 8020 seems to be offering up exactly what I’m looking for when I boot up a Supermassive Games title. Its tense and in the moment decisions need to be made while peppering in some fresh new stealth mechanics to make this Alien-Meets-The Thing sci-fi story a different feeling horror than we’re used to from this studio.

Directive 8020 releases May 12, 2026.

This preview is based on a PC code sent to SideQuesting by the publisher. This video first appeared on The SideQuest Live for May 01, 2026.
