The video game industry continues to navigate a period of adjustments and tough decisions. This time, it’s Supermassive Games, the studio behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, that has confirmed an internal restructuring process with two significant consequences: the delay of Directive 8020 and the potential loss of up to 36 jobs.

The team has announced this in an official statement, explaining that they’re adapting their internal structure to better align with the studio’s new objectives. As part of this process, they’ve initiated a redundancy consultation that will affect several employees, whom they’ve promised to offer “all possible support during this difficult period”.

Directive 8020 delayed, but Little Nightmares III remains on track

Regarding ongoing projects, the release of Directive 8020 has been pushed back to the first half of 2026. The studio assures that the initial reception to the game has been fantastic, and this extra time will be used to provide the best possible experience for players.

Despite the news, they’ve also wanted to send a reassuring message to the community: the development of Little Nightmares III is continuing as planned and won’t suffer any delays due to this restructuring.

This type of move is becoming increasingly common in the current landscape, even in established studios like Supermassive Games. Nevertheless, many fans are still eagerly anticipating what Directive 8020 has to offer, especially after seeing the initial footage.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for more details as the new release window approaches.
