Gaming insider Jez Corden, in a recent 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 release is now more likely.
Corden indicated that development is further along than publicly perceived, though he offered no specifics. This news may disappoint fans, yet it's a more positive timeline than previous 2027 release date rumors.
June 2024 saw the release of a new trailer, highlighting intense zombie gunfights and Mad Max-style vehicular combat in a post-apocalyptic setting.
The game's narrative will unfold years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors establishing and defending settlements against the undead horde.
State of Decay 3 is slated for release on PC and Xbox Series consoles. The previous installment launched in 2018.
