"We basically rewrote the entire State of Decay game": Undead Labs spent years trying to make State of Decay 3 into a full-blown zombie apocalypse MMO
Undead Labs spent years developing State of Decay 3 as a full-scale zombie apocalypse MMO, a vision initially held by founder Jeff Strain. After a significant pivot in late 2022, the studio rewrote the game to return to the scale of its predecessors. This pivot, coupled with Xbox cutting ties, led to layoffs but allowed the studio to secure new publishing support.
