Undead Labs announced the end of support for State of Decay 2 later this year to fully dedicate their resources to the development of State of Decay 3. While the game will remain playable, Update 38 will be the final content update, bringing quality-of-life improvements and seasonal content. The developers emphasize that the game will remain accessible on Xbox Game Pass, with all previous content and features intact.
Undead Labs, now an Xbox-owned studio, showcased a new trailer for State of Decay 3 during the June 2024 Xbox Games Showcase. The trailer reveals a desolate world overrun with zombies and supernatural elements, departing from the more realistic tone of previous titles. Undead Labs also debuted a new logo, designed by branding company 51 Eggs, featuring a skeleton key to represent the franchise’s zombie theme. The game’s release date remains undisclosed, but it will be available for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Since its acquisition by Microsoft in 2018, Undead Labs has remained focused on developing State of Decay 3. The studio’s transition to an Xbox-owned entity is symbolized by the new logo and the game’s evolving atmosphere. The Xbox Games Showcase also featured other upcoming Xbox exclusives, including Doom: The Dark Ages.
State of Decay 3, the upcoming entry in the popular zombie survival series, is still shrouded in mystery.
