State of Decay 3 is unlikely to come out before 2026

Reliable sources suggest a later-than-expected release for State of Decay 3. Gaming insider Jez Corden, on the Xbox Two podcast, indicated a 2026 launch, specifically early 2026. While initially slated for a 2025 release, development timelines have apparently shifted.

Corden assures fans that progress is more substantial than publicly perceived, though further specifics remain undisclosed. This news might disappoint some, yet it's a more positive outlook than previous rumors suggesting a 2027 release.

June 2024 saw the release of a new trailer, showcasing intense zombie combat and Mad Max-style vehicular action within a post-apocalyptic setting. The narrative will unfold years after the initial apocalypse, focusing on human settlements struggling for survival against the undead.

State of Decay 3 is in development for PC and Xbox Series consoles. The previous installment launched in 2018.
