‘State of Decay 2’ Hits Two Million Players
Despite its lukewarm reviews, Undead Labs’ State of Decay 2 keeps trucking. Microsoft have announced via blog post that the game has broken the 2 million players mark in less than two weeks since the game’s global launch on May 22nd. This is on top of the 1 million player milestone the game reached within the first two days of its launch.
The thing to keep in mind is that State of Decay 2 has not sold two million copies, however. The game is available for free to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Still, the fact that two million players have been active in the game so far is a positive. According to the blog post, players have collectively killed almost 2 billion zombies while managing to stay alive for an average of three days within the game.
The game recently had a huge update as well (20GB), which addresses many of the bugs that were the cause of frustration for many players, as well as gameplay refining and “quality of life improvements”. You can read up on the patch here.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
