Directive 8020 kicks off The Dark Pictures Season 2

Further spoilers are very, very much ahead.

The Dark Pictures Directive 8020 has been revealed as the opener of Season 2 by developer Supermassive as part of its conclusion of Season 1, The Devil in Me.

Very heavy spoilers follow, so if you don’t want to have things ruined, do not read from this point.

The Dark Pictures has had installments in the past and the present, but now it’s moving (presumably) into the future with The Dark Pictures Directive 8020.

Supermassive has teased Directive 8020 with its usual endgame trailer, but also with a premonition that is part of The Devil in Me.

The premonition is very late into the game (checkpoint Cliffside, accessible by scaling to the right-side of the building before heading left along the main route) and shows two characters on a spacewalk. Both are wearing EV suits similar to what you’d see in Star Trek The Next Generation (or any other sci-fi franchise, really). Upon completion of The Devil in MeDirective 8020 is fully spelled out.

From the trailer, we know that players will be in space — at times aboard the CDC Cassiopeia — en route to Tau Ceti f, a planet that could be a habitable exoplanet. Things obviously go wrong.

We don’t know much more about Directive 8020, but we’ll keep you informed as we learn more.

The Devil in Me is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. We reviewed it here.
