Gaming insider Jez Corden, in a recent 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 release is now more likely.
Corden indicated that development is further along than publicly perceived, though he offered no further specifics. This news may disappoint fans, but it's a more optimistic timeline than previous estimates pointing to a 2027 release.
June 2024 saw the release of a new trailer, showcasing intense gun battles against zombies and Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic vehicles. The game's narrative unfolds years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors establishing and defending settlements against the undead.
State of Decay 3 is slated for release on PC and Xbox Series consoles. The previous installment launched in 2018.
