Should the article just be Directive 8020? All of the official info and the trailer today from Supermassive doesn't use Anthology in the name, and barely even uses Dark Pictures. Even the Playstation storefront for the game updated to just call it Directive 8020. -- Zoo Blazer 00:47, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, they seem to be de-emphasizing the series branding now that they're self-publishing. The Steam page literally doesn't mention The Dark Pictures once outside of the copyright notice at the bottom and the embedded teaser trailer. TheHumanIntersect (talk) 03:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah. so far all I've seen is the mention in the trailer and the storefronts with the offical info saying DIRECTIVE 8020 is the latest standalone entry in the horrifying world of the DARK PICTURES. The offical site only says Directive 8020 as well. -- Zoo Blazer 05:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree that The Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020 should be moved to Directive 8020. "The Dark Pictures Anthology:" is no longer included in the title of the game as per the game website and store listings. Aarod333 (talk) 02:45, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
