Gaming insider Jez Corden, in a recent Xbox Two podcast appearance, 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.
Corden indicated the game's development is further along than publicly perceived, though he offered no specifics. This news may disappoint fans, although previous speculation pointed to a 2027 release, making a 2026 launch comparatively positive.
June 2024 saw the release of a new trailer, showcasing intense zombie shootouts and Mad Max-style vehicular combat in a post-apocalyptic setting. The narrative will unfold years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors establishing and defending settlements against the undead hordes.
State of Decay 3 is slated for release on PC and Xbox Series consoles. The previous installment launched in 2018.
