State of Decay 3 is unlikely to come out before 2026

Gaming insider Jez Corden, in a recent Xbox Two podcast appearance, hinted at a potential 2026 release for State of Decay 3. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests an early 2026 window is now more realistic.

He emphasized that development is further along than many realize, though further specifics remain undisclosed. This news might disappoint fans, yet it's a more positive outlook than previous speculation pointing towards a 2027 release.

June's trailer offered a glimpse into the game's Mad Max-inspired post-apocalyptic world, showcasing intense zombie gunfights and vehicular combat. The narrative will unfold years after the apocalypse, focusing on human settlements battling the undead.

State of Decay 3 is slated for release on PC and Xbox Series consoles, a significant follow-up to its 2018 predecessor.
