Directive 8020 is an upcoming interactive drama and survival horror video game developed and published by Supermassive Games. It is the fifth game in The Dark Pictures Anthology. The game features a multilinear plot in which decisions can significantly alter the trajectory of the story and change the relationships between the five playable protagonists; some lead to their permanent deaths. The game introduces a feature called Turning Points, which allows players to rewind to a pivotal moment or decision. In Directive 8020, a colony ship called Cassiopeia crash lands on Tau Ceti f, a planet that is 12 light-years from Earth where the crew must try to survive a shapeshifting alien threat. Lashana Lynch, who plays astronaut and co-pilot of the Cassiopeia, Brianna Young, is being marketed as the game's leading actress. Directive 8020 is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 12 May 2026.

Runs well on modern hardware.
