Xbox insider Jez Corden recently revealed on the Xbox Two podcast that State of Decay 3's release is now anticipated in 2026. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests a shift to early 2026.
He assures fans that development is significantly more advanced than previously perceived, though specifics remain undisclosed. This news may disappoint some, yet it's a more positive timeline than earlier predictions of a 2027 release.
June's trailer showcased intense zombie gunfights and Mad Max-style vehicular combat within a post-apocalyptic setting. The game's narrative unfolds years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors building and defending settlements against the undead.
State of Decay 3 is slated for release on PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The last installment in the series launched in 2018.
