State Of Decay 2 revisiting the first game's map in a free update
Undead Labs did not come to Gamescom with news on the next game in their zombie survival sandbox series. No, they announced State Of Decay 3 in July 2020 with no information then fell silent on the topic. But Microsoft do have new news on old things. In a free update for State Of

State Of Decay 3 has been announced
Undead Labs have just revealed the next instalment of their zombie-fest survival horror, State Of Decay 3 . From the reveal trailer it looks like it’s set in a snowy wilderness, complete with scary wolves, and even scarier zombified-wildlife. We also see a lonely lady just trying

Microsoft may be tinkering with playing Xbox One games on Windows
Microsoft may be experimenting with bringing support for Xbox One games to PC, or so suspect cybersleuths poking around in recent test versions of Windows 10. Microsoft have released Windows 10 editions of all their own Xbone games for several years now but if this turns out to b

Video: 10 State of Decay 2 tips to stay alive
If the zombies don t get you in State of Decay 2 , then the boastful barista will. Sure, he brews a mean cup of joe, but his self-confidence is beginning to grate and the community s morale is sinking. This might be the first survival game to be derailed by a braggart with coffee

State of Decay 2 wants to take a vote on who should lead us
The first State of Decay game sold 4.5 million units. Did you know that? For sure I would have guessed wrong by three million units. But that’s not to say it didn’t deserve that attention. Building a functioning society post zombie-apocalypse and getting an incredibly layered ser

Lifeline: Allow refugees to recycle in lifeline after a full cycle of refugees - once you've met everyone and either rescued them or...otherwise, the game will start from the top of the list so that the game can continue. Important persons should no longer become 'Away From Home'
Lifeline:

Allow refugees to recycle in lifeline after a full cycle of refugees - once you've met everyone and either rescued them or...otherwise, the game will start from the top of the list so that the game can continue.
Important persons should no longer become 'Away From Home' and will stay at the base.
Removed a problematic issue preventing Cho from acknowledging successes once she was at your base.
Fix for 'fainting' before the first siege. Fainting should now be impossible until after that siege is over. Death is death.
Removed access to an area in the port we didn't intend to be playable area. (There was an area in the port in the NW area of the map, where you could climb over a wall next to the crane and run around in a small zone and eventually hit some invisible walls. Borrrrrrrrring.)
Vehicles should now be repaired by advanced Workshops post siege.
Eldridge's post-rescue scene (on the radio with Highroad) should no longer turn driving players into car-centaurs.
Removed teleports from VIP "Found" scenes, to prevent ugliness in cases where the intended building is not cast.
Made Sasquatch pacifistic and unkillable during Bloater and Screamer Hunting missions, to prevent him from screwing up the Bloater all the time.
Fixed bad reference to the most advanced versions of the Infirmary that was preventing sick people from getting better.
Fixed a case where Greyhound 2 soldiers were invulnerable when they became playable.
Baroque church near international district should no longer appear blown out with black squares atop each steeple.
Breakdown:

Display score between breakdown levels
Grenade launchers and mines now count towards Grenadier
All:

Fix to a rucks-in-trucks crash. (From ChrisP: There was an issue where rucks in trucks were being saved in a particular order, and if one of the rucks was removed, the order was not being re-saved, so if a player then went to pull a second ruck, it would cause the game to crash.)
Fix painkiller and snack resets in Supply Locker after next day. One per population decrement +/- morale/sickness of population
Characters no longer consume the snacks and painkillers that they carry in their inventory on end of day.
