Xbox insider Jez Corden, on a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast, predicted 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 specifics remain undisclosed. This news might disappoint fans, yet it's a more positive timeline than previous speculation suggesting a 2027 release.
June's trailer offered a glimpse into the game's Mad Max-inspired post-apocalyptic world, featuring intense zombie gunfights and vehicular combat. The narrative will unfold 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 last installment in the series launched in 2018.
