Directive 8020 Release Date, Gameplay, Trailer
The post Directive 8020 Release Date, Gameplay, Trailer appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Directive 8020 Release Date arrives soon, and fans can try out the next entry in the Dark Pictures series soon. Supermassive Games, the creators of Until Dawn, have returned once again to give fans of another spine-chilling horror game. Directive 8020 won't take place on Terra Firma, but the series' core gameplay mechanics will keep it true to the franchises' roots. But when exactly can gamers get their hands on it? The Directive 8020 Release Date is Thursday, October 2nd 2025. The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Supermassive Games returns as developer and publisher. Directive 8020 Gameplay Directive 8020 is an interactive horror game that can be played solo or with friends. Like previous Dark Pictures Games, the player (or players) control five playable characters throughout an interactive, narrative-driven story. Throughout the story, you'll make decisions that impact several things, like: Potential Endings Relationships with other characters Whether or not your character will survive & More! Therefore, the game encourages replay-ability, so you can try it out to see multiple outcomes. Whether you want to see certain characters be friends or enemies, or if you want to just see everybody die, Directive 8020 lets you control their destinies. To progress through the game, players need to navigate through areas, collect and use items, and correctly perform QTEs. And mixed in with all these elements comes character dialogue, which you can choose throughout the game. While each character has their own pre-determined personality, your choices impact how they become later on. But Directive 8020 also adds some new gameplay mechanics that will really shake the experience for players. Firstly, the developers added a new Rewind system. This enables you to go back to important choices and change your decision, which will impact the outcome of certain events. So if you really want to see the Perfect, or 'Happy' ending, you may need to use this feature. But the developers also plan on adding a feature that disables rewind. Therefore, you can play the game and experience something similar to the previous entries. Perhaps the biggest change in terms of gameplay includes the new real time threats. In previous Supermassive Games, you could only die if you: Failed certain QTEs Made specific decisions that led to your death or Failed to complete something in a certain amount of time But now, it appears that the enemies of Directive 8020's can kill you even as you actively control your character. Speaking of the enemy, Directive 8020's foes include alien organisms 'capable of mimicking its prey'. This can create a lot of interesting situations in which player relationships make a big impact on the story. Each character comes with a wrist-strap that can perform multiple things. From basic mechanics like a flashlight, this tool can also help you identify any mimicking aliens. Additionally, it contains a weapon, but you'll still need to use stealth tactics to survive. Overall, this tool will prove detrimental in your efforts to survive. That includes some of the main gameplay elements of Directive 8020, but what about its story? Directive 8020 Story Directive 8020 is the first new entry in the Dark Pictures Season 2. In Directive 8020, you control five playable characters aboard the colony ship Cassiopeia. Unfortunately, when the ship crash-lands on Tau Ceti f. When an alien life form starts mimicking passengers on board, trust-levels reach an all-time low. The five playable characters include: Brianna Young – Pilot of the Cassiopeia colony ship Nolan Stafford – Commander of the Cassiopeia Lauren Eisele – Cassiopeia's senior mission officer Josef Cernan – Ship's technical engineer Samantha Cooper – Medical Specialist aboard the Cassiopeia Young is the game's leading character, and the one piloting the Cassiopeia. But each character plays an important role that will be necessary in reaching the perfect ending. In solo play, you control all characters throughout the campaign. But you can also play co-op online or locally, allowing you to enjoy the game with friends. Regardless, each character can die throughout the campaign, making every choice and decision matter. Furthermore, players can expect to see a Director's Cut post-launch, which adds more cutscenes and sequences to the game. Overall, these additions add even more replay value to the game. Overall, that includes everything you need to know about the Directive 8020 Release Date, Gameplay, Trailer, and more. We look forward to playing the next epic adventure in Supermassive's Dark Picture series. We'll see you aboard the Cassiopeia this October! Lastly, for more gaming news, visit ClutchPoints.

'Trapped in the valley, they're forced to relive the night again and again — only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.' Directed by David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation), Until Dawn also stars Michael Cimino, Odessa A'zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Maia Mitchell and Peter Stormare.

Until Dawn was given a 53% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 102 reviews.

Games Inbox: What will the GTA 6 collector's edition be like?
The Wednesday letters page tries to imagine what the PS6 launch line-up will look like, as one reader is glad about the wait between Persona sequels. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Early access So, I see Doom: The Dark Ages is another of these games where you can pay for a collector's edition to play it a few days early. I'm not sure what difference that is supposed to make, especially in a single-player only game, but there's always someone that will pay for these things. I'm not complaining but I am wondering what's going to happen with GTA 6. There's already rumours it's going to cost £100 or more but what are the special editions going to cost? I would bet a lot of money that one of them is going to let you play the game a week early, or whatever, and how much is that going to be? £150? Then there'll be the super special edition with a statue of Jason and Lucia, for £300 or something crazy. I'm honestly curious to see how far they'll push it, and I'm going to guess it'll be pretty far. Gogol Interactive movies I noticed the news that Netflix has removed Bandersnatch and all their other interactive shows from the service. I have no idea why you'd want to do that but I'm guessing that means they weren't as successful as they hoped. That surprises me, as I thought Black Mirror: Bandersnatch worked really well, and I don't usually like these sorts of FMV style games. I'm sure it helps that Charlie Brooker knows his stuff when it comes to games, but I always imagined that that sort of thing would be how video game movies would be handled in the future. You already have games like Until Dawn, that are basically semi-interactive movies where the only important things you're doing is making simple choices. Surely that'd be easy to replicate on a smartphone app when you're watching a movie. Not for anything good, obviously, but for something dumb like Minecraft I would've thought it'd be a good idea. Instead, they made a movie of Until Dawn and not only was it not interactive it had almost nothing in common with the game. Maybe it's all too much effort, when people will go and watch rubbish anyway, but it seems like a missed opportunity to me. Norris No Redemption I am glad to see there's others who never really got the whole GTA phenomenon. I also add Red Dead Redemption to this list of games I simply didn't understand the fascination with. I tried several times with Red Dead Redemption as everyone insisted it was amazing, but even zombies couldn't make it fun for me. I am not bothered by the violence, but didn't find the humour that funny and it felt more like someone trying too hard to be clever and not actually making real social observations. I found the missions repetitive and the controls awful. Each to their own though. Kiran Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Launch explosion I heard from a friend in retail that although Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have all sold out there should be a big delivery of stock ready for day one purchase in stores (at the big retailers at least – he works for one of Argos distribution centres). At time of writing, 4.35pm Tuesday, Very has Switch 2 bundles available but not the console on its own. You can get the Mario Kart World pack with Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom or a Sandisk SD card. Prices around £477 to £494. Mark Matthews GC: Thanks for the latter in particular, we credited you in our story about it. Take your time It's crazy how long it takes between Persona sequels, but I'm not against it. I'd much rather have five really good games (can't pretend I've played the first two) than a dozen okay or bad ones, but as far as I know Atlus has kept up the quality impressively well over the years. I could do without all the spin-offs though. I'm not aware that any of them have ever been any good and I think their time is much better spent on things like Metaphor: ReFantazio, which was excellent. Would much rather have seen a few of those – meaning original games in roughly the same style – than a bunch of half-assed tactics games and Dynasty Warriors crossovers. Lossy Paying the rent Interesting discussion of whether the Nintendo Switch 2 is being sold at loss and while there doesn't seem to be any exact agreement it's obvious they're not making a massive profit on the console itself. I think people often forget that games is all Nintendo do. They're not Microsoft, or even Sony, where if their games division has a bad generation, they can just lean on something else in the meantime. Making their games and consoles a success, and profitable, is a matter of life and death for Nintendo. Before you complain, I'm not trying to excuse Nintendo for the price rises but at least with them I understand them. Especially as they have this 'dynamic' pricing where Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are different prices, so I believe they're not trying to be too outrageous. Obviously, Mario Kart World is more expensive because they know that's the one everyone wants but I don't feel like that's not the most anti-consumer thing they've ever done. And certainly not compared to other companies. Somewhere, someone at Take-Two is trying to work out what's the maximum they can charge for GTA 6 and they are not going to care at all if that means lots of people cannot afford it. That doesn't make sense to me, because surely the more people that can buy it the more money they make. But I guess they figure people are going to be saving up to afford whatever it costs. I don't think we're at that stage yet for Nintendo games and hopefully we never will be, but gaming is definitely getting more expensive at the moment. Lester Pass it forward After completing Dungeons Of Hinterberg the devs asked me to pass on the message if I enjoyed it. I really liked it and will direct readers to your review. I played it on Game Pass but after being an Xbox Series X/S console exclusive it came to PlayStation 4 and 5 a few months ago and is £18, I got 20 hours from it. No Switch version, maybe it'll be on Switch 2 as it seems a perfect fit for the device. Simundo Change is coming Horizon Zero Dawn 3 is obviously coming, I don't think there's any doubt of that, but what I'm more interested in, from the latest leak, is exactly what the PlayStation 6 is going to be. Surely it can't be just another plastic box to go under the TV? The improvement in graphics is going to be far too small to justify that. Maybe it's a portable but I can't imagine Sony making their new console less powerful than their previous one. The probably should, but I just don't think they're that bold. So, are they going to launch their new console and treat it like any other? Will there be two or three first party games, with impressive graphics, and a promise of lots more to come? Because if there was that would be a massive turnaround from how things are at the moment. Maybe that is how it'll be. Maybe they'll just pretend this half of the generation never happened and they'll just carry on like before. I'd welcome it, and it's not like they do interviews or anything anymore, to explain themselves or be confronted for their bad decisions. I don't know what route they'll choose but at this point anything they do is going to come across as strange and out of character. How can Sony be so dominant and yet seem so out of control, all at the same time? Boko Inbox also-rans What a horrible story, selling your friend a Switch 2 for £600. I wouldn't dream of ripping off any friends, I would just let them have the pre-order for the price I paid. More to life than money, the guy has questionable morals! Anon GC: Isn't that for his friend to decide? Although I understand the reader complaining about FromSoftware making too many multiplayer games I think we've just got to accept that's what they want to do at the moment. We really shouldn't be complaining that developers are making something they're passionate about, rather than an easy sequel.
