Xbox insider Jez Corden recently revealed on the Xbox Two podcast that State of Decay 3 is now slated for a 2026 release. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden indicates a shift in plans, with an early 2026 release now anticipated.
Corden assures fans that development is significantly further along than publicly perceived, though he refrained from offering specifics. This news may disappoint some, yet it's a more positive outlook than previous speculation suggesting a 2027 release.
The latest trailer (June 2024) highlighted intense zombie gunfights and Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic vehicles. 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 in development for PC and Xbox Series consoles, marking a significant gap since its predecessor launched in 2018.
