A growing group of gamers is pushing for a new entry in the State of Decay series. Discontent simmers over Xbox's emphasis on mainstream titles like Fable, leaving fans feeling disconnected from the demand for quality zombie experiences. This has led to significant discussions on online forums.

Urgency Shifts Focus to Zombie Games

Fans clearly express their craving for a solid zombie shooter. One comment captured the mood perfectly: "My need for a good zombie game is kind of homeless." Another pointed out that "Xbox doesnโ€™t realize that people would love State of Decay more than Fable," highlighting a missed connection with the community.

Release Timeline Sparks Debate

Conversation isn't just hopeful as many fans speculate about when State of Decay 3 might drop. A strong consensus suggests a summer 2026 release, especially with big titles like GTA 6 looming. As one community member noted, "If it goes with autumn 2026, theyโ€™ll be throwing it under the bus."

Gamers also highlighted concerns regarding the game's development, suggesting that "bad decisions" are affecting progress. Some speculate a delay may be necessary to upgrade to UE5.5.

Interestingly, the ongoing discussion reflects a mix of wariness and hope. "I havenโ€™t played State of Decay in several years, but I'm still waiting for it; the game is just great for home time chill," shared a community member, echoing the sentiment of many.

Mixed Sentiments in the Community

While there's significant enthusiasm, a cautious tone pervades conversations. Frustration over the lack of updates persists. Many repeat the plea for actual gameplay footage. One gamer implored, *"Please let us see actual in-game gameplay footage already.
