Undead Labs’ State of Decay 3, which has received relatively no updates since 2020, will get a new trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th. As discovered by Gematsu, a press kit confirming the same went live on Undead Labs’ official website under the Jobs category. The page has since been removed.
It also seems that the studio is rebranding, with a new logo featuring a skeleton key set against an hourglass. In the press kit, studio head Phillip Holt said they wanted to give “the creatives we work with a collective identity that transcends zombies.” Chief of staff Vicki Ebberts added, “It felt right – and also the right time – that our brand reflected how much we’ve grown and changed.”
The Xbox Games Showcase starts today at 10 AM PT and reportedly runs for two hours, with 30 games appearing. Rumored titles include Gears 6, DOOM: The Dark Ages and Perfect Dark, while a first-party title is allegedly being announced and shadow-dropped during the showcase. Immediately after, a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct will air, diving deep into the next title of the franchise.
From June 10th till the end of the week, the Official Xbox Podcast will also feature special episodes that go more in-depth with the announced titles. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
A new State of Decay 3 trailer will appear at Xbox Game Showcase 2024 tomorrow.
