Today YouTuber Sunny Games posted a video talking about what we know so far about State of Decay 3, which you can watch below. Not much has been said publicly about State of Decay 3 except that it's been in pre-production, there was a news story about an issue at the studio that was being worked on interally, and it's being created using Unreal Engine 5. The video includes the research the YouTuber did along with their thoughts about what the game may have in it.
According to the video, the possible new features we'll see in State of Decay 3 are: weather on maps, wildlife/animals (zombie animals), parkour movement (I don't think the parkour will be as extreme as in Dying Light 2, I'm hoping anyways), a relationship system, a focus on characters and the game's narrative, a single-player mode, a better and large-scaled multiplayer mode, possible MMO size, and a live service. My opinion is that the game most likely won't come out until 2024 or later.
9/2 UPDATE: Added a second video below, where it shows part of a podcast with the Head of Xbox Studios, Matt Booty, and he said that Undead Labs is working with Coalition (Gears of War studio), using some of the technology in Unreal Engine 5 and some of the stuff that has been in the Gears of War games before and bring some of that tech into State of Decay 3. Also, the new things that are coming into State of Decay 2 are testing grounds for what they'll be bringing into State of Decay 3.
After hearing everything in the video, what are your thoughts about State of Decay 3? For me, I am excited about SoD3 and can't wait to see what Undead Labs creates.
