THE FUSE

State of Decay 3 was first revealed back in 2020 ahead of the launch of the Xbox Series X/S with a cinematic trailer that showed no gameplay. The teaser signaled loftier narrative ambitions for the zombie sandbox series but the truth is that the game didn’t even exist yet, outside of broad outlines and attempts to prototype what Undead Labs’ next sequel would look like. Studio head Philip Holt recently confirmed that the trailer was essentially fake and said its zombie deer are not on the menu for the finished game.
