The third mainline entry in Undead Labs' open-world zombie survival sandbox, set in a new region of the United States as a more aggressive mutation of the blood plague resurges. Players build out a base, recruit and manage a community of survivors under permadeath stakes, scavenge a hostile landscape for food, fuel, and weapons, and gradually reclaim territory across a shared persistent map that supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Combines third-person action combat, deep base-building, vehicle traversal, and the long-running State of Decay community management loop, rebuilt on Unreal Engine 5 with cross-platform multiplayer between PC and Xbox Series X|S. A closed alpha playtest is scheduled to begin in May 2026.
