Tom is Eurogamer's Editor-in-Chief. He writes lots of news, some of the puns and makes sure we put the accent on Pokémon. Tom joined Eurogamer in 2010 following a stint running a Nintendo fansite, and still owns two GameCubes. He also still plays Pokémon Go every day.
When Supermassive Games' Directive 8020 arrives in 2025, it will have been three years since the studio's horror anthology series The Dark Pictures saw its last full release. This new sci-fi story, the studio's first foray into the future, is the fifth main game in the franchise . But that extra wait seems to have been put to good use, and ensured that there's plenty now about Directive 8020 to make the series almost feel like it's starting afresh.
You have a scanner, able to spot the game's creepy alien that is able to mimic the appearance of crew members - something that enables some intriguing psychological horror - as well as a Sonic Screwdriver-like remote to activate nearby electronics to distract enemies.
It's an interesting approach for a series that previously seemed to lean on its overarching branding for familiarity. But fans still looking for a more casual experience will find settings to tune the gameplay more to their liking, Doyle says, with more details on these set to be revealed in due course. And, of course, while this is a standalone entry there are going to be nods back to previous Dark Pictures games for those who have stuck with the series.
