Evaluation
State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition launched on March 13, 2020 and received an impressive run of post-launch support — nearly 40 free updates over more than four years. Major content drops included large additions like Plague Territory (June 2021), the Homecoming map update (September 2021), Forever Communities (August 2022), the Heart Attack overhaul (May 2023), and multiple feature-rich patches adding systems like Curveballs, quality-of-life improvements, and new cosmetics.
On October 22, 2024, Undead Labs published Update 38 — "Legacy Awaits" — and explicitly stated: "This is our final update for State of Decay 2." The post explained that the studio is shifting all focus and resources to State of Decay 3. A follow-up post on November 27, 2024 confirmed "the end of content updates for State of Decay 2," while the team reflected on six years of development and sought a Steam Labor of Love nomination. These are unambiguous, back-to-back developer statements marking the conclusion of the game's post-launch content cycle.
The game is complete as of October 22, 2024. No further content has been announced or is expected.

About this game
State of Decay 2 is an open-world survival-fantasy game set just after the zombie apocalypse. Your small community of survivors seeks to rebuild a corner of civilization, and you get to make all the decisions about how that happens.
You decide who to recruit to your team, where to settle your community, how to fortify and upgrade your base, and when it’s time to move to greener pastures. You select which survivor to bring along on a scavenging run for the food and ammo you need, and who you’ll use to fight off the zombies attacking your base. You choose how you’ll deal with other people who move into your town. Will you be friendly and welcoming... or will you aggressively defend your territory?
Every player’s experience in the sandbox is unique. Each character in your community has their own special set of skills and traits, so no two communities are ever the same. The challenges you face also vary from game to game, based on who you recruit and the decisions you make along the way.
With co-op multiplayer support, you can visit your friends' communities and help them through a tough spot, bringing back rewards for your own communities later. Alternate game modes include a full 10-hour narrative campaign and a four-player zombie-slaughtering "siege defense" mode.
Undead Labs is proud to present our best-ever vision of the zombie apocalypse. Keep your eyes peeled and your weapons ready. This is one apocalypse you won't want to miss.
