More zombies!
State of Decay 2 is the follow-up to Undead Labs’ successful 2013 game. The only information for the game comes in the form of a teaser trailer shown during E3. The trailer is entertaining, but it is very short on information.
The original State of Decay is a third-person zombie Survival horror sim game. The game puts the player in charge of a group of survivors in a base and tasked them with managing resources, keeping group morale up, tending to base defenses, and killing the odd walker that stopped by. It is a very engaging game that juggles stealth, strategy, role-playing and shooter elements to survive and flourish.

One would figure that State of Decay 2 would follow in the footsteps of its progenitor. The only thing we know for sure is that cooperative multiplayer will be added to the game. The co-op mechanic will allow players to jump into a game already in progress, do a bit of work in it, and then drop out at the player’s whim. Up to four players can play in a single game session.
Past that nod to multiplayer co=op, nothing else is known about State of Decay 2. It is expected to come out some time in 2017 for Xbox One and Window 10.
