Xbox insider Jez Corden, on a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast, predicted a 2026 release for State of Decay 3.
Undead Labs, the game's developer, initially aimed for a 2025 launch, but that timeline appears to have shifted. Corden suggests an early 2026 release is now more likely.
While Corden notes the game's development is further along than publicly perceived, he offered no further specifics.
This news may disappoint fans, although previous speculation pointed to a 2027 release, making a 2026 launch comparatively positive.
June's trailer highlighted intense gun battles against zombies and Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic vehicles.
The game's narrative unfolds years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors building and defending settlements against the undead.
State of Decay 3 is slated for PC and Xbox Series X|S release. The previous installment launched in 2018.
