‘State Of Decay’s’ Inevitable Sequel Will Come To Xbox One
Did you enjoy State of Decay as much as I did? If you did, I hope you’re planning on grabbing an Xbox One, because that will likely be the platform it launches on.
Speaking with Polygon, Undead Labs head Jeff Strain said the ambitious sequel, currently known as Class4, will indeed be a next-gen game. It’s only a concept right now — the developer is currently focused State of Decay and its upcoming sandbox mode — but they’ve enjoyed working with Microsoft enough to want to continue that relationship. More after the break.
“[Class4] is what I would say is a future discussion, we’re very much focused on State of Decay right now,” Strain told Polygon.
“If we do a full sequel to the game, it wouldn’t be on currently existing hardware,” he said. “We don’t know what the future of State of Decay is right now, the IP, the franchise… Clearly if there’s a full sequel, it would be on Xbox One. But I can’t comment beyond that.”
So when we eventually do see this sequel, it will very likely be exclusive to the Xbox One.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
