Way back in February 2022, it was reported that Supermassive Games had registered several new trademarks for what appeared to be new entries as part of the second season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Now the developer is teasing what appears to be the potential reveal of the new season at this year’s Gamescom.
Supermassive released a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) of an image of space above a planet, with the text “we hear gamescom will be out of this world”. Now for non-fans of the series, that would get them thinking of Supermassive teasing a brand-new IP. However, looking back at what the developer trademarked in 2022, the Directive 8020 trademark jumps out as a sort of sci-fi-themed game. Not to mention that the logo paired with the trademark features a space motif.
Obviously, that’s a bit of speculation on our part, but it does make sense.
Of course, we could all be wrong on this, and Supermassive could be working on a new horror project, such as the one they announced in September 2022. We won’t know until Gamescom hits on August 21.
The season one finale of The Dark Pictures Anthology was The Devil in Me, which is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
