The sequel to the incredibly popular State of Decay was announced at E3 2016, but since then we've not heard much about it. Developer Undead Labs has now announced, however, that they have big news coming and that the release date will be shown at E3 2017, along with more gameplay.

Undead Labs founder Jeff Strain said: "It's traditional to close out the year with the phrase, "Happy new year!" Usually we say that speculatively, as in, "Boy I sure do hope we have a happy year next year!" But sometimes we might have a reason to actually believe it will be a happy year next year. For those of us here at Undead Labs, we're looking at a ton of hard work next year (multiple metric tons of tons, more realistically), some late-night panics, a few "oh my god oh my god" meetings, a sprinkling of bug-count out-to-the-woodshed sessions courtesy of our QA team, and some assorted last-minute design or tech change freak outs. And all that can mean only one thing: we're driving toward the release of State of Decay 2 next year, and that will make it a very happy year indeed."
