Supermassive Games has announced a new sci-fi survival horror game coming to PC in 2025. To celebrate, they shared the game’s first trailer, which you can watch below. Not only that but we got some official PC requirements. So, let’s take a look at them.
In Directive 8020, players will experience immersive cinematic storytelling and edge-of-your-seat horror on a deep space mission to save humanity. Players will have to evade a deadly alien threat that roams the dark corridors of the ship, intent on eradicating human life. Players will have to overcome their enemies using improvised weapons, lightning reflexes, and stealth.
Although the devs have not revealed the engine they’re using, we can assume that it’s either Unreal Engine 4 or 5. After all, both Until Dawn and The Quarry used UE4.
Anyway, to run the game, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia RTX 2070 Super or AMD RX5700. The game will also require 70GB of free disk space. Plus, the devs recommend using an SSD.
Supermassive Games recommends an Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia RTX 3070 or AMD RX6800.
Sadly, we don’t know the graphics settings, framerates and resolution these PC specs target. We also don’t know whether the game will support NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR or Intel XeSS.
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!

An ugly negress and purple everywhere.
I can already picture what the devs look like.
How to make a game in current year, make a crappy game, make the main character a black woman and suddenly no one can criticize it or they are racist an sexist, this game is basically the calysto protocol with even less gameplay.
Are you dumb as f*k or what? They make fun games.
they make interactive walking sims, movie that play themselves.
sweet babby makes "fun games"?
He's a raptor, excuse him or his taste.
what do mean by that ? are you siding with terrorist manipulators?
John the Raptor wouldn't know fun games if they bit him in the tail.
Making games to appeal to the demographics that least cares about them.
Callisto is pure LUDO compared to this s hite.
yes this is a interactive movie. Games get worse every year cyberpunk 2077 is good now compared to starfield.
Main protagonist looks like she was beat with an ugly stick.
The stick had nothing to do with her looks.
What's saddest is that it's going to be about a trans gendered space monkey who is wrongfully done in by "IT's" peers for being different.
Therefore "IT" needs to prove itself by taking on an impossible mission in an attemptto save mankind that will most certainly will end in "IT's" death….
At least that's what I see from that things face….
Is this true? I only watched ten seconds of the video and stopped.
My apologies up front as I’ve never even started it, but only threw out my personal opinions after reading comments.
And that I wouldn’t put it that far past them on doing something like it though..
Dark pictures games are always fun, I wonder if there will be co-op in this too.
Supermassive Games will be shut down after this game flops.
No reason why this would flop.
Explain, the Dark Pictures anthology games are a failure in the sense that nobody talks about them (and since the focus is the cinematic storytelling i would call that a failure), and nobody even cares when a new one releases. You get the same "experience" by watching them on YouTube…i would hardly call them games, they are poor movies made by hacks that can't be actual movie directors like David Cage that introduced the disgusting idea that games can be cinematic (like if there's a comparison point with movies, it sounds like they don't appreciate videogames for what they are) because their writing is awful.
They must make them on the cheap side, if the studio is still alive and making the same old crap after another.
That's what surprises me, Until Dawn was their only game with high production values thanks to the higher budget. It wasn't that special, but the Supermassive games after that have felt too low budget. The Quarry's the closest they came to Until Dawn. But they must be doing well enough or they wouldn't be releasing so many games.
I think there is a place for cinematics in games but I agree with the overall sentiment. If your game has more watchin' than playin' then yeah that is a problem.
There's cinematics, which help to tell the story and there's cinematic "games" that make the whole focus about them to tell the story. Absolutely.
For instance, Metal Gear Solid 1 does a good job with that, but then you have 4 which goes overboard and feels like Kojima smelling his own flatulences, and that comes from somebody who is not a fan of his games.
then why they don't do interactive movies instead of games , its probably a very unexplored part of media..
Until Dawn is their only really success that I know of.
Is the only one i can remember of those, yeah.
because it was before the propaganda came
That series was loosing quality in every episodic game they launched.
Well, I liked EP1 and EP3.
EP2 was laughable garbage.
The last one was meh.
Reason: N fatigue
it will flop , because people or costumers are tired of being forced to buy paid propaganda
sweet byb inc ? black women
You're supposed to survive in this game but looking at the main character, I'd actively seek out a way to kill this character off. What's the point of playing this?
I bet your family and everybody that has to deal with you in real life feels the same way about you mongrel. I bet you stand with your back to the wall by the front door for a quick escape at family reunions. slime ball mongrel filth Take a shower someday and use soap for once in your miserable life. You stink like rot garbage greasy mullet hair mongrel filth.
That's actually one of dagoat's more decent comments.
If modern "games" allow you create (or even impose, as it appears in this case), unpleasant, unnatural, and freakish characters, then they ought to allow you to make someone normal (or even exceptional).
Who wants to spend his time and money on this?
You mean stupid* comments. He is trolling in a retarded way; I can't believe anyone falls for that.
to be fair isnt this what you do in the gamers this company releases?
Can we get gay n!gg3rs from outer space instead?
Yeah this Woke abomination needs to die. All Globalist pigs needs to be wiped out!
Send em back to hell, where these Devils spawn surely comes from!
maybe some morphing ones who identify themselves as meteorites
Looks about as interesting as Forspoken. Incoming failure.
Eww John, my eyes! Please change that ugly a*s thumbnail.
Why it reminds me of The Callisto Protocol? that's not good
yeah idk something seems off with this
Ugly char = no play.
lol no thanks
disgustingly ugly character
unit 8200 vibe any1?
pass, they can keep their shyte racist bond actress
developer of this game:
did someone turn off the lights? im seeing black.
Most of the games being announced recently are shrouded by this veil of activism. Its so weird and unfitting. What has happened? (rhetorical)
