For five years in a row starting in 2019, developer Supermassive Games annually released new games in The Dark Pictures Anthology beginning with Man of Medan. In 2024, however, that trend was broken with Supermassive releasing The Casting of Frank Stone, a game in the same genre but published by Behaviour Interactive and set within the Dead by Daylight universe instead. The Dark Pictures games return this year with Directive 8020 out in October, but this one feels different from the others.
