Evaluation

State of Decay is no longer available for purchase on Steam — the store listing has no purchase options, meaning the game has been delisted. This original version of the game launched on November 5, 2013 and received two paid DLC packs: Breakdown (November 29, 2013) and Lifeline (May 30, 2014). Both were released and there are no unreleased DLC entries. Developer activity effectively ceased years ago. The most recent news post from Undead Labs, dated November 26, 2019, announced that all owners of this original game would receive a complimentary copy of the remastered State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition — a clear signal that the studio considers this version of the game superseded by its successor. That post also promoted State of Decay 2, confirming the studio had fully moved on to its sequel. There have been no further communications about this game since that date. The game's delisting from Steam aligns with Undead Labs directing players toward the Year-One Survival Edition (a separate Steam listing) and State of Decay 2. This original release is no longer purchasable and can be considered a closed chapter in the franchise's history.
Evidence
Undead Labs announced all owners of the original State of Decay would receive a free copy of the remastered Year-One Survival Edition, and directed players toward State of Decay 2. This is the last official communication about the game.
