Supermassive Games has shared a new live-action trailer for its next horror game, Directive 8020that highlights the game’s co-op mode.
The trailer, revealed during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase on March 12, showed a group of friends playing the upcoming game’s Movie Night mode, along with in-game footage showing the split-second decisions and fast-paced action that Supermassive is best known for.
Directive 8020 Movie Night mode allows up to five players to play through the entire story together in local co-op, with each player taking control of a crew member aboard the Cassiopeia and passing a single controller between them as the story unfolds.

Since this is a choice-based narrative game, it is up to the player or players to decide who lives and who dies.
“Every choice matters, every mistake can be fatal, so players must work together to survive alien infiltrators, deadly dilemmas and catastrophic system failures! Don’t play alone, and don’t trust anyone – not even your friends,” said Supermassive.

Directive 8020 will also support five-player online multiplayer in a free post-launch update that will mirror the co-op experience by bringing it online, but there’s no release date yet.
For the first time in Supermassive’s The Dark Pictures Anthology, Directive 8020 will have a new feature that allows players to revisit key decisions through a visually branching story tree for more narrative control. Called Turning Points, it will also be available in Move Night mode.
“Major choices and outcomes are mapped as the story progresses, giving players a clear view of how their decisions have shaped the narrative,” explained Supermassive. “If a critical moment results in a death, broken alliance, or unfortunate outcome, players can return to a key turning point to explore an alternate path or retry a QTE [Quick-Time Event]!”
Directive 8020 launches on May 12 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC via Steam.
