Fans of the State of Decay franchise will probably have to wait for the third installment. According to new speculation, the survival action from Undead Labs has been pushed back to 2026, despite initial speculation of a 2025 release. The information was revealed by journalist Jez Corden on the Xbox Two podcast, where he stated that although the release was originally set for next year, it may be delayed, mainly due to the large number of titles that Microsoft may release in 2025. The possible delay is also highlighted by the fact that we haven’t seen any gameplay footage yet – only a trailer from this June, which showed footage of the engine but didn’t provide any more details on gameplay.
Microsoft has big titles like Avowed, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Fable and The Outer Worlds 2 lined up for 2025, so delaying State of Decay 3 to the following year would make sense and allow the developers to fine-tune the details and give the game some well-deserved space.
