State of Decay 3 is unlikely to come out before 2026

Gaming insider Jez Corden, on a recent episode of the Xbox Two podcast, predicted 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 likely.

Corden indicated the game's development is further along than publicly perceived, though he offered no further specifics. This news may disappoint fans, although previous speculation pointed to a 2027 release, making a 2026 window comparatively positive.

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

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