Xbox insider Jez Corden recently hinted on the Xbox Two podcast that State of Decay 3's release is now projected for 2026. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests a revised timeline, pointing towards an early 2026 release.
Corden assures fans that development is further along than publicly perceived, although he refrained from offering specifics. This news may disappoint some, yet it's a more positive outlook compared to earlier speculation of a 2027 launch.
June saw the release of a new trailer, showcasing intense gun battles against zombies and Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic vehicles. The game's narrative will be set 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.
