Gaming insider Jez Corden, on a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast, projected a 2026 release for State of Decay 3. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests an early 2026 debut is now more realistic.
He indicated the game's development is further along than publicly perceived, though further specifics were withheld. This news may disappoint fans, but it's a more positive timeline than previous speculation pointing towards a 2027 release.
June's trailer offered a glimpse into the gameplay, highlighting Mad Max-style vehicular combat and gun battles against hordes of zombies.
State of Decay 3, set years after the apocalypse, centers on human survivors establishing and defending settlements against the undead. It's slated for release on PC and Xbox Series consoles, a significant time after its predecessor's 2018 launch.
