Turns out it's for the 6 year anniversary of the game but still...

Been waiting for something from somewhere but so far it's just the 1 trailer that had nothing to do with the game and then silence, is pretty depressing innit

It hasn't been silent. Matt Booty said a year ago that we would get deep dives on State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark this year. Something akin to the Indy, Avowed & Hellblade 2 deep dives we got last year.

Would be the first time I've heard that but it's welcome news if so

People don't realize that when it was first announced, it was still in the early planning stages and not in development. It's microsofts fault for mentioning it too soon, but most likely cause they didn't really have anything else to mention.

I am aware, doesn't mean i can't still be miffed about it

Seems like the easiest of the announced games to make.

The 2nd one was a few steps away from being a above average game

SoD2 is a fantastic game. Criminally underrated.

Agreed i loved the first and prayed the second would be coop, was a very happy bunny when it turned out that it was

Love it as well! Just a few small changes would make it night and day. A coop fix would make it better over night

It's in my top ten of all-time favourite video games. I've been gaming since space invaders, so it's had a lot of competition.

That's just game development but don't let me interrupt your inborn British depression. lol

Is it worth playing any of them?

Just got my first xbox with the series x so I never played any of them. I heard mixed things on these games.

I've played both, put more time into 2 but I haven't played since the year it released so can't really speak to the version we have today but I enjoyed what I've played of both

They are fun games but thing about them is that you can tell Undead Labs was trying very hard to work above their budget constraints. The second game was AA but it really felt like they were hitting above their weight class. For the third game, Microsoft expanded the studio and gave them a proper AAA budget. I really think SoD3 will be the game where the creators vision meets what they can actually do. It could truly end up being something special.

I’d say they will definitely reveal something about the game.
