State Of Decay 2 Gets A Spring 2018 Release Date
Today, during the Xbox E3 2017 briefing, we showed State of Decay 2 gameplay for the first time ever in public. It’s a big moment for the team at Undead Labs who have been working tirelessly for the past three years to deliver what we think will be our best game yet. When we first set out to create State of Decay 2, we knew we wanted a true sequel that took everything fans loved from the first State of Decay and create a more dangerous, unpredictable world that allows players to engage with one another in co-op multiplayer to survive. That means more unique survivors, each with their own traits and motivation, more options to manage your community and develop your base, more new maps to create a truly diverse and expansive zombie-filled world and of course, more scenarios for you to make c...

Top 10 Video Games We Probably Won’t See At E3 2017
Now we’ve discussed the games that we really want to see this year at E3 2017, and we tried to keep our expectations tempered. But if we were to let our wishful thinking free, then we would also want to see the following games, but probably won’t. So here are the top 10 video games we probably won’t see at E3 2017. Elder Scrolls 6 With the massive success that Skyrim was, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to think that Bethesda will put out another one soon. However, with how strongly they are supporting Elder Scrolls Online, and adding huge expansions regularly, it’s hard to imagine them cannibalizing their own game. Though, if they do decide to put out a new Elder Scrolls game, I’d love to see Valenwood. Far Cry 5 Ubisoft has its hands full these days. Wh...
