State of Decay is out in June, new trailer lands

360's answer to DayZ to hit XBLA in traditional summer zombie window.

State of Decay may look a little rough around the edges, but the mixed zombie-survival-and-management sandbox shooter has been whetting our appetites since last year. Thankfully, the traditionally-named Undead Labs have released a new trailer for the game and announced the release date - June.

And here's the new trailer.

For those who don't know State of Decay is a real-time sandbox world that generates zombie threats and plot elements depending on how you're doing. You can play the game defensively, building your town and reinforcing it's defenses, or take the fight to the horde. Oh, and it's all set in a huge open GTA world with vehicles and multiple locations to explore.

It's never going to be the most beautiful game, but it may well be the one that gets the most time on our consoles this summer. Our, aha, older consoles that is.

  1. I haven't been this excited about a game since Skyrim.

  2. Well that was completely underwhelming.

  3. I am intrigued about this game as its not going to be a run of the mill zombie shooter but something where you have to think. Hopefully the producers can deliver on their promises

  4. This is looking like a positive game, hope it turns out good and i hope the world is huge to explore.

  5. As long as it doesn't just turn out to be a GTA style game but with Zombies then this is shaping up to be great. I also hope it doesn't get too easy too quickly. I would rather be constantly under pressure than soon find after a few hours that I've stockpiled enough weapons and ammo to last a world war

  6. hey, I just punched something... this game is the new minecraft...

    hey, I just built myself a house... this game is the new minecraft...

    hey, I just ran away from something making "grrr" noises... yaaay... another new minecraft...

    hey, I just met you, and this is crazy... but I'm absolutely nothing like the new minecraft...

    but I have cars and houses so I must be the new GTA...

    or something...

    and I guess the Irish girl is the new miserable man with a beard... (but with more expletives)...


    *edit... maybe ???

  7. Looks like tosh, Awful visuals and zombies, Very original , Yaaaaawn

  8. Bear in mind that this is an XBLA game and, just my opinion, may be like a test for the upcoming 'Class 4' or whatever they end up calling it.

  9. Partial Nudity, wtf. Let me guess naked people or naked zombies.

    I think thats the generic logo indication of the criteria needed for games to be rated M+, not that they have all of those elements
