Xbox insider Jez Corden recently hinted on the Xbox Two podcast that State of Decay 3's release is now anticipated in 2026.
Initially slated for a 2025 launch by Undead Labs, the zombie action game's release timeline has reportedly shifted. Corden suggests an early 2026 launch 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. A 2026 release, therefore, appears relatively positive in comparison.
June's trailer provided a glimpse into the game's Mad Max-inspired post-apocalyptic setting, showcasing vehicular combat and gunfights against hordes of zombies.
The game's narrative unfolds years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors establishing secure settlements to combat the undead threat.
State of Decay 3 is in development for PC and Xbox Series consoles, a considerable time since its predecessor launched in 2018.
