Recent reports have claimed that Micosoft has games in the pipeline for 2025 that havent yet been officially confirmed for the year, which has caught many by surprise, given the many titles the company already has officially lined up for 2025. Some have speculated thatState of Decay 3could be one of those surprise titles, though Undead Labs long-awaited sequel might be a 2026 game instead.Thats as per journalist Jez Corden, who claimed on a recent episode of the Xbox Two Podcast that thoughState of Decay 3was tentatively targeting a 2025 release at one point, the game may now have slipped into a 2026 launch window.We finally got a new in-engine trailer forState of Decay 3in June, which was also the first look at the game since its announcement with a CG teaser back in 2020, but we still havent seen actual gameplay footage yet, suggesting that the title might be a ways out yet.Of course, with the likes ofAvowed, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Fable, South of Midnight,andThe Outer Worlds 2, Xbox has a pretty dense schedule geared up for 2025, soState of Decay 3slipping into 2026 might not be the worst thing in the world.
