There was also no new news from the studio during any other 2022 gaming events or so far in 2023. A March 2022 investigative report from Kotaku outlined Undead Labs’ massive culture shift after it was acquired by Microsoft in 2018, which has resulted in allegations of mismanagement, burnout, and misogyny.įans hoped to catch a new look at State of Decay 3 during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, but it was not mentioned at all. According to reports, Undead Labs was pressured into releasing an announcement trailer before developers felt like they were ready to do so. When the cinematic announcement trailer was released at the Xbox Games Showcase event in July 2020, Undead Labs said the game was in the early pre-production stages.

Neither Undead Labs nor Microsoft has announced a release date for State of Decay 3, which means it will be a while before we see the much-anticipated sequel.
