A new trailer for Directive 8020, a choice-based survival horror narrative adventure game from Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games, has arrived, and the game’s new release date has been revealed.

The new trailer finally confirms an official release date of May 12, and reveals that physical and digital pre-orders are open now across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. Those who pre-order the game will obtain a free digital upgrade to the Deluxe Edition, which contains a wealth of bonus items.

Set in the far future, Directive 8020 follows a spaceship crew as they encounter a sinister alien threat. Making choices is a central part of gameplay, with multiple possible outcomes for key events.
