Undead Labs ramping up production on State of Decay 3

After launching the original title in May 2018 on Windows and Xbox One, Undead Labs has produced nearly 40 updates and patches for the game that have fixed bugs, brought new game modes, and offered new characters, weapons, and a host of other in-game items.

Although the Xbox exclusive was met with mixed reviews, with a “66” critic score and a 5.7 out of 10 player rating on Metacritic, it has a strong following of loyal players. Those players will be disappointed to hear that Undead Labs is bowing out of further updates to the game after this year.

However, they will be heartened to learn that the move is being taken so that the company can concentrate its efforts on making State of Decay 3 “the best it can be”. The company has not provided a release date or further details on the upcoming title, as yet.

State of Decay 2 stalwarts can still enjoy playing the zombie survival game and have one last big update to look forward to. Update 38 is slated for release at the end of this year and will include quality-of-life improvements as well as the unlocking of seasonal and other gaited content.

Undead Labs has said that the game will still be available and bounties at the Bounty Broker will continue to cycle but the support system will be closing and there will be no further content updates after this year.
