More gameplay for Directive 8020 is finally here, with a look at how some of the choices in Directive 8020 will come about
There have been a few tastes of how the gameplay for Directive 8020 will go down and how we are going to have to make some of those hard choices in the mix of things already. There has been no shortage of descriptions of all of that out of Supermassive Games as they keep on evolving and perfecting their titles over time. Things are ever changing, just like the creatures in Directive 8020, so it will be a wild ride on October 2nd when the game lands on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. That all said, though, we have not had a solid look at how some of the game will play out to lead to those choices. At least, in the public space, with the very select members of the media getting to see more behind the curtain. Until now, as we have some of that edited footage to show off some of the events that will lead to other massive choices in the game.
All of what we have to show here today is B-roll footage out of the Summer Games Fest this year for Directive 8020, but it does offer up some fun new cinematics to help show how terrible the situation for our crew truly is out there. All while dabbling early-ish in the story, from the looks of things, as the crew encounters the living organism that can take the shape of any of the crew during the game. A lot like the premise of The Thing and other Sci-Fi stories like it. Only here, we will be making the choices based on action and events in Directive 8020. Here, we get to see how the crew first learns about the new organism and what it can do. As well as coming to the defining moments and choices we will need to make, too. This time, it looks like the wrong choice was made when communication could have solved all of this. This is why we all need to learn how to better communicate and not just fly off the handle when a gun is pointed asking for a simple answer…
Directive 8020 — Gameplay
Edited B-roll shared with the press at Summer Games Fest 2025.
The Cassiopeia’s mission to Tau Ceti f was meant to begin humanity’s next chapter.
Instead, it may be the final one.
As fear spreads and loyalties fracture, survival depends on one thing: who you trust.
Directive 8020 releases on October 2nd, 2025.
Do you like how Directive 8020 is going to be presenting this similar story, or did you hope it was going to be a fully unique story with nods to other IP? Will we always just have choices coming about because characters cannot communicate in the story, or will some be on-the-spot with no chance to get new information? How do you think the scanners will go down in the story, so we cannot just keep using them to check that the crew is not converted over? Rush on down to the comment section to discuss all of that and everything else that might come to mind out there. We are going to keep on dropping what we can for Directive 8020, even if it would be nice to get early access to the footage like others do. So, please keep on checking it all out and watching for all of that so we can get the news to you faster and over our socials better.
