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!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
