State of Decay 2
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.
What it feels like
A grave, subdued seriousness pervades the post-apocalyptic world and constant threat of loss.
What it's about
Undead outbreak and zombie survival are the foundational setting and core loop of the game. A collapsed civilization and survival amid ruins drive the entire narrative and gameplay context. Enduring a hostile world of undead and scarcity is the central struggle driving all systems.
How it plays
Constructing and expanding a home base or community settlement is central to the survival loop. Scavenging, gathering, and budgeting scarce resources under constant survival pressure is core. Managing community needs, food, supplies, and morale to keep survivors alive is fundamental.
How it looks and sounds
The camera follows the player character from behind or over the shoulder in third-person perspective.
How it's structured
The game features a large continuous explorable world that players navigate in largely non-linear fashion. Online co-op is a core feature allowing players to cooperate over the internet toward shared survival goals. Single-player mode is a primary supported playstyle, though multiplayer is also available.
