State of Decay 3 is unlikely to come out before 2026

Xbox insider Jez Corden, on the latest Xbox Two podcast, projected a 2026 release for State of Decay 3. While Undead Labs initially aimed for a 2025 launch, Corden suggests an early 2026 debut is now more realistic.

Corden indicated the game's development is further along than publicly perceived, though he offered no specifics. This news may disappoint fans, but it's a more optimistic timeline than previous 2027 release speculation.

June's trailer showcased intense zombie gunfights and Mad Max-style vehicular combat in a post-apocalyptic setting. The narrative unfolds years after the apocalypse, focusing on human survivors establishing and defending settlements against the undead.

State of Decay 3 is slated for PC and Xbox Series X|S release. The previous installment launched in 2018.
