The game was scheduled to be released in 2017 for Windows 10 and the Xbox One video game console. The game was announced on June 13, 2016, at Microsoft's E3 Xbox briefing. The game was developed using Unreal Engine 4. State of Decay 2 is developed by Undead Labs and published by Microsoft Studios. All vehicles can be damaged and destroyed when running over zombies or hitting obstacles. Besides walking, the player has access to several types of cars, each with its own characteristics like maneuverability and speed.
In addition, there are special types of zombies, such as the animal-like "Ferals" or the tank-like "Juggernauts" that are quite dangerous in one-on-one confrontations. The player can choose to confront them directly, use stealth to sneak past them, or divert them using items like firecrackers. They respawn infinitely (unless the player establishes an outpost, which prevents spawns in their vicinity), are attracted to noise, and are capable of sprinting nearly as fast as the characters. These attitudes can affect their behaviors, sometimes requiring player intervention.
Each character also has an "attitude" parameter, affected by game events (a near death experience, death of another character, or having accomplished a difficult task). Except for the story-related characters, most characters can be assigned to survivor groups and be recruited. Cooperative multiplayer is also available allowing to player to recruit a friend to temporarily join their game to assist them with objectives.Įach character has a fixed set of "traits" which give them advantages or flaws (such as tire out more easily, or can improve a certain skill faster). Only one survivor can be controlled at a time, though the player can ask an AI-controlled survivor to accompany them, and in certain missions, one or more AI-controlled survivors will accompany the player.
The player can interact with survivors outside of their group: trading with them, helping them or recruiting them.
They can be obtained by scavenging or trading with NPCs. Part of the game is balancing the use of resources: food, medicine, ammo and construction materials. The player can choose from several locations to build a base, then reinforce and improve it with various facilities like watch towers, gardens, sleeping quarters, kitchens, workshops, medical bays, etc. The game is set in an open world environment and features cooperative gameplay with up to three other players. State of Decay 2 is a zombie survival game, with an emphasis on scavenging for items, in which gameplay is experienced from a third-person view.
