State of Decay 3: Release date, trailer, news, and more

digitaltrends.com:

While the world’s zombie obsession isn’t as prevalent as it was a few years ago, we’re still staged to see some serious undead action in the future. Undead Labs has a third entry in its State of Decay series in the works that will surely pit an eclectic cast of survivors against hordes of wandering undead as they try to rebuild a home in a brutal world. Each entry of the series so far has included action-adventure, survival-horror, stealth, role-playing, and strategy elements, blending genres into an interesting civilization-rebuilding, zombie-decapitating experience.

We still don’t have a lot of details on what State of Decay 3 will look like, but we’ve been stealthily searching the wasteland for any news we can find. Here’s everything we know about State of Decay 3 right now.

Neither Undead Labs nor Microsoft has announced a release date for State of Decay 3, which means it will be a while before we see the much-anticipated sequel. When the cinematic announcement trailer was released at the Xbox Games Showcase event in July 2020, Undead Labs said the game was in the early pre-production stages. According to reports, Undead Labs was pressured into releasing an announcement trailer before developers felt like they were ready to do so. A March 2022 investigative report from Kotaku outlined Undead Labs’ massive culture shift after it was acquired by Microsoft in 2018 which has resulted in allegations of mismanagement, burnout, and misogyny.

Fans hoped to catch a new look at State of Decay 3 during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, but it was not mentioned at all.

It appears the project is still in pre-production and the situation at Undead Labs doesn’t bode well for a release anytime soon.
