Undead Labs' zombie survival sequel is still shambling toward us, even if the road hasn't been smooth. State of Decay 3 is the next chapter in the series, and yes, it's still in development. The game got its first tease a while back. Then the Xbox Games Showcase gave us a much clearer sign that it's actually happening. The plan? A release window has been locked in, though the firm timing is still up in the air. That's great news if you've been waiting for any scrap of info from the studio.
But there's been some behind-the-scenes drama. After the showcase, Microsoft went through a significant restructure. Later came a new wave of layoffs and studio mergers. Eventually, it was confirmed that Undead Labs is operating as an independent studio. All that noise understandably made fans nervous. The good news? The game is still on the way, and development hasn't stopped.
For those who need a refresher, State of Decay 3 is the next entry in one of the best zombie game series around. It's a survival game with base building, scavenging, and plenty of undead to put down. If you're into that kind of thing, this one's been on your radar for a long time. We're talking platforms, trailers, Game Pass, and everything else you'd want to know.
Platforms? State of Decay 3 is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5. That was confirmed in a trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase. So yeah, PlayStation players are finally getting in on the action.
Game Pass was a big question mark once Undead Labs split from the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. People worried it might not show up there. But it will. State of Decay 3 is still set to hit Game Pass on day one. If that changes, we'll let you know.
The release window itself is still a bit of a moving target. We know it's been set, but the firm timing isn't locked down yet. For zombie fans who've been waiting for any sign of life from Undead Labs, though, this is a pretty huge deal. We'll keep this updated as more concrete details come out.
