Undead Labs on State of Decay 3: Features a much larger, evolved and darker shared open world, trailer is all in-game assets, The Coalition assisting with Unreal Engine 5, Deeper combat systems, etc

From Klobrille's tweet about State of Decay 3:

• Features a much larger, evolved and darker shared open world
• Trailer is all in-game assets, all rendered from the game in UE5; a typical scene that you would encounter in a four-player co-op session
• Focus is on emotional weight through permadeath and stories in the world
• Collaborating with Obsidian Entertainment on the shared world feature from Grounded, enabling flexible online co-op, a world owned by multiple players
• The Coalition assisting with Unreal Engine 5
• More reactive combat, dismemberment of zombies will be much more visceral
• Deeper combat systems, enemy behaviors, and animation fidelity to level up the moment-to-moment experience
• Takes place several years into the apocalypse
• Much deeper customisation on weapons etc.
• Investing time to craft “your” crossbow with raw parts you'll loot vs finding a few generic crossbow types reinforces State of Decay 3’s unique setting
