Undead Labs Teases State of Decay 3 Before Xbox Showcase

REDMOND, Washington — Undead Labs has fueled excitement for its upcoming game, State of Decay 3, with a cryptic teaser image ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase scheduled for June 8, 2025, at 6 p.m. BST. The studio, known for its survival horror series, hinted at the game’s presence during the showcase with a stylized image that mirrors its revamped logo.

The teaser image features runes that one fan translated to read, “LOOK BEYOND TO UNDERSTAND,” sparking speculation about what players can expect. Since the game was officially announced in 2020, details have been sparse, but fans hope to see gameplay footage and possibly a release date during the event.

“After waiting so long, it’s time to show the world what we’ve created,” said a representative from Undead Labs. They plan to reveal more information and hope to meet fan expectations.

State of Decay 3 promises an expanded world where players will navigate zombie hordes while managing resources and characters. The game aims to improve upon the mechanics seen in State of Decay 2, which faced criticism for its bugs and lack of engaging story elements. Fans are optimistic that the developers learned from those challenges.

The release is projected for 2026, a delay from earlier expectations of 2025. This timeline aligns with the historical trend of the franchise, as State of Decay 2 was released two years after its announcement.

As anticipation builds, fans wonder which titles will make an appearance at the Xbox showcase, particularly if State of Decay 3 will be among them. The excitement surrounding the event suggests that greater insights into Undead Labs’ plans and gameplay mechanics might soon be revealed.
