  • Despite the lack of a release date in the trailer, State of Decay 3 remains highly anticipated within the gaming community.

State of Decay 3 has finally received a new trailer since it was first announced four years ago. Developed by Undead Labs for Xbox and PC, the title was initially revealed at 2020's July Xbox Showcase. The new trailer shows off in-game footage, giving fans of the series hope that more details for State of Decay 3 will be announced.

The original State of Decay was released in 2013, with a five-year development window following for State of Decay 2. Without knowing how long before State of Decay 3's 2020 announcement development had started, the third franchise entry is already close to passing that time frame. Changes in Unreal Engine and other technological improvements during the period can account for the extra time and studio silence.

The 2024 Xbox Showcase trailer for State of Decay 3 confirms insider claims that the title is coming along nicely, with stunning in-game footage used to highlight the story of the title. This is the first officially released trailer since the 2020 announcement. In the nearly four years since then, no news concerning State of Decay 3 had been released, with only the recent insider comments giving fans hope that the title was still being worked on.

State of Decay 3 Makes Xbox Showcase 2024 Appearance

The trailer follows the paths of four different survivors, each using their own style when killing zombies. The first man utilizes a machete, another man uses his fortified vehicle, a woman wields a sniper rifle, and the final lady uses a shotgun. The trailer brings them together to aid the sniper, who's been pinned down by a hoard at a gas station. It shows off a variety of play styles that can be used, as well as the different zombie enemies players can face. Whether the armored car points to a new feature being added to State of Decay 3 remains to be seen.

Though the trailer highlights the well-designed environments, characters, and zombies, actual game mechanics weren't included. A release date for the survival game was also missing from the trailer. State of Decay 3 is still one of the highly anticipated zombie games, especially after the new trailer.

The Xbox Showcase trailer for State of Decay 3 brings the title to the eyes of the general gaming population once again. Given the release date still hasn't been revealed, there are definitely more announcements are coming from the studio.
