During the newest Xbox Two podcast, Jez mentioned in response to Jeff Grubb's Perfect Dark information that he has heard State of Decay 3 is actually coming along very very well, opposite to the news out of The Initiative.

[dorkimoe]

Cannot wait for this..please please release some footage

 

[Antwix]

Thank god some good news. One of my most anticipated games.

 

[Topher]

Hope we see more at the showcase

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Out next year then? Supposed to be shown again next month

Out next year then? Supposed to be shown again next month

It would be an incredible surprise if this game is ready by next year, from what all the insider type folks have been saying about the game through 2022-23.

 

[Sneakysnake]

This is very high on my showcase wish list

 

[March Climber]

This is going to be the final State of Decay, so I hope it's good.

Spoiler

I'm not an insider, I am just making calculated guesses based on Microsoft's latest moves. This franchise will be cut down in the future.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Friendly reminder.

 

[Bullet Club]

I enjoyed the first two games, even though they were a bit janky.

Hopefully number 3 has a bit more fleshed out storyline and mission variety.

 

[semiconscious]

so, as of now, it's jeff with the bad news, jez with the good?...

 

[Embearded]

The only Xbox game i always wanted to play.
I hope they take their time amd give us a great game.

 

[clarky]

Played the shit out of SOD2 so cant wait of this. It was a ton of fun.

 

[Gambit2483]

Going so well there hasn't been a single screenshot, trailer or preview/interview in the last 3 years? Ok...

 

[ByWatterson]

Awesome! Once these games start hitting, Xbox will be unstoppable!

 

[tmlDan]

 

[StueyDuck]

Ah a jezzy doo doo fatty poo poo rumor...

So basically it's something he made up in his head

 

[eerik9000]

I am hearing from Greenberg that State of Decay 3 is a break-out hit in all key measurements and expectations. Wow. Much amaze!

 

[TheGodfather07]

"He has heard"

He ain't heard shit! Making shit up, as usual and acting like he has inside information. Proper annoying prick this guy is.

 

[Caio]

One of my most anticipated Game, I hope it will be fantastic, I really want this to be GREAT, please !

 

[Chukhopops]

I really want this game to be good, it’s insane how much back and forth this development cycle got.

All I want is SoD 2 with more simulation and depth ala Zomboid.

 

[Roberts]

Couldn’t get into the first one way back in 360 days - too much jank that even janklover like me couldn’t handle, but the second one was a huge improvement, especially after the updates. So, looking forward to it.

 

[SJRB]

This guy is clueless. Please stop using him as a valid source of information.

 

[Jormatar]

Awesome! Once these games start hitting, Xbox will be unstoppable!

Any decade now!

Jez is as reliable as Zastava Yugo imported to California without proper spares.

Time told us countless times that he doesn't have any sources or insides.

 

[fatmarco]

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition was incredibly cringe worthy at points and yet I'd still rate it as one of the best games of last generation personally. That speaks to how good a concept this game has, and hopefully that translates into the sequel.

 

[Sintoid]

The game we're all waiting for
Microsoft redeemed

 

[joshwaan]

Good news wish the same be said for Perfect Dark

 

[Negotiator101]

June 9th will paint a far more positive picture of the state of Xbox, Gamepass Day 1.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Coming along……after how many years now? Watch them cancel it last minute and Phil damage control saying it is better for Xbox in the long run. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit with these imbeciles running Xbox.

 

[Gamezone]

The State of Decay have always looked like a low budget game or a high end indie title, even though games like The Day Before was the number one wishlisted game on Steam when people thought it looked good. They should definitely go all in on these open world zombie games.

 

[Killer8]

Announced in 2020 as a CGI trailer with zero updates since. Coming along well my ass. This will get the Avowed re-reveal treatment ie. disappoint immensely.

We better hope so. If they can't get a big jump in subs by adding Cod day 1, Activision back catalog, and all the day one games this year, it will be very clear to MS that they need to bail on Gamepass

If they do bail on gamepass we will look back at the gamepass era as an absolute anomaly of value for gamers. We will never see a value proposition for gamers like this again.

 

[pasterpl]

I am expecting this to release day 1 across Xbox, ps and steam. If done right this game can be be huge.

H1Z1 Zombie was one of my most played games as I love that style of game

I really have high hopes for SoD3 but don’t limit me where I can build a base.

If I want to take over a WalMart and build that place up let me.

I don't think a nearly 7 year old subscription service is going to shut down because the industry is having a hard time currently (yes its not just Xbox as some would have us believe). As you say they still haven't played their biggest hand with COD either.

I'm optimistic this will be a very powerful showcase that will show us there are some amazing games in development at Xbox.

All the bad press currently is not great and some of it is warranted but Xbox is a long way from being dead and buried.

 

[LordCBH]

I hope. SoD2 was jank as fuck but I ended up having a lot of fun with it.

Aye a rough gem for sure.
