‘Directive 8020’ Creative Director Will Doyle On Game Starring Lashana Lynch: “If We’re Living In A World Where We Can’t Have A Female Black Lead, I Don’t Want To Live There”


Directive 8020 creative director Will Doyle talks to Deadline about the latest in The Dark Pictures Anthology series and creating new scares.

Here, creative director Will Doyle speaks with Deadline about developing scares that focus on “humanity as a virus,” a new combat system and casting Lashana Lynch.
