"State of Decay 3 Release Delayed to Post-2026"

Insider Jez Corden recently shared on the Xbox Two podcast that fans of the zombie action game State of Decay 3 should temper their expectations for an early release. Initially, Undead Labs had set their sights on a 2025 launch, but according to Corden, the game is now slated for an early 2026 debut. This news might come as a disappointment to eager fans, but it's a more optimistic timeline compared to earlier rumors pointing towards a 2027 release.

Corden highlighted that the development of State of Decay 3 has made significant strides, though he did not elaborate further on the specifics. The latest trailer, released in June of this year, tantalized viewers with intense gunfights against zombies and showcased post-apocalyptic vehicles reminiscent of the Mad Max franchise.

Set years after the apocalypse's onset, the game's narrative will follow humanity's struggle to establish secure settlements amidst the relentless undead threat. State of Decay 3 is being crafted for both PC and Xbox Series platforms, building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, which was released back in 2018.
