State of Decay 3
Key Points:
- State of Decay 3, announced in 2020 with a trailer featuring zombie animals, will launch without any zombie animals as the early concept proved unfeasible during development.
- The initial trailer was pre-rendered and created before the game and development team were fully established, representing early ideas rather than final gameplay elements.
- Undead Labs is preparing an alpha test for State of Decay 3 in May 2024, with some features from the trailer possibly persisting, though the presence of mechanics like snow and camping remains unconfirmed.
- Since September 2024, Undead Labs has focused solely on State of Decay 3, ending updates for State of Decay 2 after nearly 40 content updates over six years.
- The developer is collaborating with Obsidian on a shared world feature to enhance online co-op gameplay, but no official release date for State of Decay 3 has been announced amid reports of workplace issues at Undead Labs.
