Until Dawn Dev Still Going with Dark Pictures Series, Next Entry Teased
Supermassive Games has teased the next entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology horror series through a hidden trailer embedded within Directive 8020, the franchise’s latest release. The teaser video, which depicts a videotape playing on a television screen, suggests the upcoming game may be titled “The Craven Man,” though official confirmation of the title has not yet been provided.
The trailer shifts focus toward paranormal horror elements rather than traditional creature-based threats, drawing visual inspiration from the psychological horror film The Ring. The teaser includes flashing dates—1988, 2019, 2028, and 2029—which likely indicate the time periods spanning the game’s narrative across different storylines or settings.
The announcement follows The Dark Pictures Anthology’s established tradition of concealing teasers for upcoming entries within current releases, building anticipation among fans between major announcements. While specific gameplay details, release windows, and official confirmation of the title remain unavailable, the reveal demonstrates Supermassive Games’ ongoing commitment to the horror anthology franchise. Community sentiment suggests hope that the next installment will receive a more positive reception than its predecessor.
