Undead Labs has announced through a post on their website that State of Decay 3 is still actively being developed, with a launch window targeting 2027. The game is currently in its alpha phase and is making steady progress towards entering closed beta by the end of this year. It is expected to release on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Game Pass next year.
