Briefly: I’m really not sure how this one slipped past me, but as a huge fan of 2013’s open world zombie survival simulator, State of Decay, I’m damned excited for the sequel.

Microsoft debuted the first trailer for State of Decay 2 at this week’s E3 expo, and while the trailer reveals little in terms of actual details from the game, it clearly showcases just how important it’ll be to bring a few friends along for the ride.

Microsoft notes that “The next installment in the critically acclaimed “State of Decay” franchise immerses you in an all-new, multiplayer zombie survival fantasy. Build a lasting community, working with other players or solo to overcome challenges while exploring your own unique story in a world that remembers the choices you make.”

You can take a look at the trailer for the title below, and be sure to let us know what you think! State of Decay 2 will hit Xbox One and Windows 10 sometime in 2017!

A recent trailer has surfaced for the rumored open world sanbox zombie game that would be out on XBLA. Turns out it’s called “State of Decay” and it looks pretty damn rad. Look with me.

The game puts you in the middle of a just happened zombie apocalypse and forces players to rebuild society. It basically is your time to test your zombie survival plans.

UndeadLabs created an interesting take on the zombie game. The world is an ever changing sandbox over run with monsters and you have to figure out how to survive. You find a proper base to fortify and plan your days. You can go look for weapons, food or build defenses. They say the world changes on your actions. Resources will deplete and activity will attract the horde.

You can even modify your base with things that will make survival better. Look at this little build of the construction mode in the game.

No word on the release date yet but it will be out on XBLA and PC. We will keep you up to date when more info gets out. This looks REALLY promising.
