Undead Labs shared news about State of Decay 3 last week. After many years of waiting, the developers confirmed: the first alpha test of the game will start next month and will be the first opportunity for fans to try out the new open-world zombie survival game.
Almost eight years have passed since the release of State of Decay 2, and the audience's interest in the sequel has only grown. However, the long silence surrounding the third part raised questions - especially considering that the project was announced long before the start of full-fledged development.
In an interview with Sunny Games, studio head Philip Holt admitted that the announcement did indeed take place too early. According to him, at the time of the first trailer's release six years ago, the game did not actually exist.
We literally had neither a team nor the game itself. Everything existed only as a Word document.
That very video, created by Blur Studio, was completely pre-rendered and reflected only the concept of the future project. It showed survivors in a snowy area and infected animals - an element that could become an innovation in the series. However, the developers have now confirmed that there will be no zombie animals in the game.
