If we know very little about him, State of Decay 3 could still revive the franchise after a rather disappointing second opus. At the start of the year, a first important detail has just come to light.
We have to go back to July 2020 on the occasion of the Xbox Showcase to witness the announcement of State of Decay 3. The first trailer unfortunately did not tell us anything crisp and the Undead Labs studio has been extremely discreet since its release. diffusion. This week, however, a major piece of information seems to have been confirmed through Simon Sherr, the game's animation manager.
Ever more hideous zombies
On his LinkedIn profile, the main interested party declares to be in charge of the animations on the Unreal Engine 5 for State of Decay 3. Thus, the game will use the Epic Games engine which recently demonstrated its potential via the technical demo The Matrix Awakens. Remember that The Coalition (Gears of War) and Ninja Theory with Hellblade II will also use the Unreal Engine 5. In the near future, the engine will therefore be adopted by a large part of Xbox Game Studios.
Finally, Simon Sherr tells us at the same time that Undead Labs has opened a new branch in Orlando, Florida. An initiative that may provide a boost to the development of State of Decay 3.
