State of Decay

The end is here.

Life as you knew it has gone to hell after the mother of all zombie outbreaks. Now you and the few scattered survivors must band together to survive and rebuild in a 3rd-person action game set in a dynamic open world. You choose where to make your stand, designing and fortifying your home base, performing daring raids for food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors with unique talents. The open, sandbox world develops in real-time, shaped by your actions, dynamically generating content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.

State of Decay is our ambitious zombie-survival open world game, first released for Xbox360 and PC in 2013. In April 2015 we released State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition, a stunning, remastered version of the game full of new missions, weapons, and extra content.

What’s new? Mysterious supply crates start dropping into remote areas across the map, attracting massive hordes of zombies. While wiping out the infestation and you can grab some of the rarest and most powerful equipment seen in State of Decay.

As you fight the undead hordes you’ll find new survivors. Your favorite characters from Lifeline can now be unlocked in Breakdown, including the previously unplayable Kelly “Sasquatch” Eldridge.

Year One Edition also features new vehicles and weapons. Players navigate the apocalyptic landscape in a brand-new SUV. Custom vehicle skins are also distributed across all maps for greater personalization. As for weapons, you’ll find new assault rifles equipped with under-barrel grenade launcher attachments as well as shotguns that fire incendiary rounds.

We’ve all sat around with friends, debating the best ways to survive the zombie apocalypse. Well, the time for speculation is over; State of Decay will let you put your personal survival plan to the test.

Here’s what you can expect to see in State of Decay:

Zombie Survival

What if society came screeching to a halt? What if all our rules and laws no longer mattered? State of Decay brings these questions to life in a very real way. It’s not just about combat; it’s about doing what you must do to stay alive. Food, water, shelter, and ammo — you’ll need them all. Taking you beyond the initial panic, and beyond the first weeks of the crisis, State of Decay is the embodiment of the “What if?” zombie apocalypse scenario.

Intense Action

Move through the world like a zombie-slaying badass. Dive through windows, jump on cars, and take it to the living dead with baseball bats. Hop in a truck and mow down some undead pedestrians. Break into the local police station and clear out their arsenal or walk into the local grocery store to stock up on your favorite junk food. The world is your oyster…a shiny oyster that happens to be filled with zombies.

An Evolving World

State of Decay is an open sandbox world that develops in real-time, dynamically generating content based on your actions, the choices you make, and the ever-increasing zombie threat. Decide where you’d like to set up a fortified safe haven for you and other survivors you’ve rescued, then form raiding parties to gather resources and create supply chains. Use the materials you’ve gathered to develop your community as you see fit, but be careful — resources will deplete as you pillage areas, and zombies are attracted to noise and activity. Take up the offensive by assaulting hordes before they reach your settlement, or focus on improving your defenses against the massed zombie attacks. Every choice and every action matter in this fully simulated, evolving world.

Life After Zombies: Canned Goods

(From the private journal of Ernest Pritchard)

 

I’m a planner. Always been a planner. My dad used to make fun of me for it. “Boy, as a baby you’d have planned out taking a shit if I didn’t spike your sippy cup with laxative.” Well, that was hilarious. I didn’t feel inclined to plan for him after a lifetime of similar bon mots, so he laughed himself into a second rate assisted living facility, and I’m sure he’s the funniest guy on the fourth floor of a building that doesn’t even have a fire escape.

Life After Zombies: The Notice Board

Librarian’s Note:  We put a community board up outside the Library shortly after everything happened, and it’s been a great place to leave notes.  

The following are the most current notices on the board.   I’m  thinking of taking one of the found dogs. We could use an extra alarm system in the Library.

It’s a Store!

Okay, if you guessed the mysterious addition to the nav bar on our website was going to be “a store,” you’re awesome. Or sentient. Or both! Anyway, I’m delighted to announce that tomorrow is the grand opening of the long-requested State of Decay gear store, courtesy of our publisher. As announced, we will be live streaming tomorrow from the Lab as guests of the Microsoft Studios Twitch channel at (EDIT) 2:30 PM PDT/5:30 PM EDT/10:30 PM UTC. We’re just going to hang out, play the game, and take a look at some of the working samples the people doing the store sent for us to approve.

Life After Zombies: Green Beer


Journal page of Rebecca White – dropped off at the library community board the day before March 17th.

Librarian’s note: Rebecca is at best socially awkward and at worst a walking, talking bag of WTF. She tends to keep to herself.When she does make the effort to get involved with others, she tends to go overboard with a big splash. Bless her heart. She’s got that heart in the right place, but her execution could use a little work.
