State of Decay 3 - The vision of the developers becomes reality

With the first State of Decay adventure (2013), the still independent developers of Undead Labs pursued ambitious plans. At the time, the studio set itself the goal of creating an open world in a zombie apocalypse, in which numerous players fight together for the survival of humanity. This vision could neither be realized in State of Decay nor in the sequel State of Decay 2.

Above all, the limited budget of the small studio put a stop to the great ambitions. Thanks to Microsoft's takeover of Undead Labs in 2018, this problem finally belongs to the past. With State of Decay 3, the creative minds of Undead Labs are finally able to make their vision of a world populated by players and overrun by zombies a reality thanks to the new financial resources.

Humanity is on the brink of extinction

State of Decay's playfulness has always been a special feature of the series, which combines elements from different genres into an entertaining gameplay mix. State of Decay 3 will be no exception and transport you to a world where human civilization has collapsed due to a zombie apocalypse and is on the brink of extinction.

The survivors find themselves in smaller groups and fight together for their survival. The center of this is your own base, which you have to manage and expand continuously.

The resources you need, such as building materials, medicine, ammunition and of course food, can be found in the world of State of Decay 3. Unfortunately, you will quickly realize that it is inhabited by numerous zombies and hostile groups of people who make your life difficult.

Horror, role-playing elements and construction strategy combined

Whether you are looking for the survival-critical resources in the open confrontation or prefer to work quietly and stealthily is up to you and at the same time has an impact on the further development of your character. In classic role-playing style, the skills of your survivors develop further in State of Decay 3, which are used most by you. In combination with the numerous possibilities for expanding your base, this allows you to build your very own outpost and secure the survival of mankind in the midst of the zombie apocalypse.

The developers of Undead Labs are particularly focusing on a comprehensive and versatile multiplayer component this time, which is supposed to go far beyond what the cooperative multiplayer mode of State of Decay 2 (2018) had to offer. However, no specific details have been given about the new multiplayer so far.
