Reliable sources suggest a later-than-expected release for State of Decay 3. Xbox Two podcast insider Jez Corden recently stated that the zombie action game, originally slated for a 2025 launch, is now projected to arrive in early 2026.
While this news may disappoint fans, it's a more optimistic timeline than previous rumors suggesting a 2027 release. Corden assures that development is significantly further along than publicly perceived, though specifics remain undisclosed.
June's trailer offered a glimpse into the game's Mad Max-inspired post-apocalyptic setting, showcasing intense gun battles against hordes of zombies and showcasing vehicular combat. The narrative will unfold years after the initial apocalypse, focusing on humanity's struggle to establish and defend safe havens against the undead.
State of Decay 3 is in development for PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The previous installment launched in 2018.
