Undead Labs’ hugely ambitious open world RPG State of Decay is one of the more exciting zombie games on the horizon. They’re really going all out with this post-apocalyptic arcade title, packing more content into it than most full retail releases.

A GameStop listing obtained by IGN could narrow reveals a June 5 release date and reveals a moderately high — for an arcade title — price tag of $20, or 1600 MSP. The developer’s community director Sanya Weathers clarified the listing in the State of Decay forums, saying June 5 is their goal, but they won’t be able to provide a solid date until the game passes certification. As for the price, I wouldn’t be all that surprised if it did cost $20, knowing how much content it offers.

Undead Labs has been hard at work on a very ambitious post-apocalyptic zombie game called State of Decay. We’ve covered it before, but in case you’re familiar with the title, all you really need to know is it aims to do the zombie genre right. It has hordes of the undead, deep character customization, resource scavenging and conservation, human drama, etc. Basically, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a zombie game, neatly packaged in an arcade game. I’m pumped for it — if you aren’t, I suggest you watch this new trailer and let it pump you up.

If Undead Labs’ State of Decay isn’t on your radar by now, then you obviously haven’t been keeping up with it. It’s a game about scavenging, surviving, and bludgeoning the occasional zombie. For an arcade game this one’s more ambitious than most. The team behind it recently detailed the game’s robust character customization system, with stats that are based on what you do in the game. If you’re particularly adept with a gun, that stat will increase more quickly than the others. Learn all about it after the break.

With The Walking Dead, Day Z and The War Z still fresh on our minds, I would understand if you had forgotten about Undead Labs’ upcoming take on the bustling zombie genre. Coming next year is their open-world title called State of Decay (formerly Class3). The XBLA exclusive focuses more on survival, stealth, and evading the undead. Every decision you make will shape the world around you, and it will even let you build bases, which you will need to fortify and defend from the zombie hordes. In this new video, we see a guy beat the crap out of a handful of zombies that are surrounding a gas station so he can search the building for supplies. Then he calls in a few friends to come raid the place. It looks neat. See it in action after the jump.

State Of Decay formerly known as Class3 is an open world zombie apocalypse MMO currently in the works for the PC and Xbox Live Arcade. The awesomeness about that is since it’s on XBLA it should be a decently cheap price. The only thing I’m worried about is the length of the game. You hear MMO and you think endless hours and hours of gameplay. But will it be limited because of it’s Xbox Live release? Only time will tell. I do know, it looks awesome and I’m quite excited. And I’m hoping for some awesome co-op gameplay. Speaking of gameplay, check out the Distraction Gameplay video past the break.

Zombies are on their way out. We’ve all heard someone predict the nearing end of the popular genre at some point. Whether it’s been to our face, or whispered in dark alleys, for some reason, people think zombies are going somewhere. What we know that they don’t, is the zombie genre is only getting bigger. Never before have the undead permeated every facet of entertainment so thoroughly, from books, to films, video games, and even Detroit. There’s a lot going on right now when it comes the hungry undead and their seemingly bottomless appetite for all things human, but we’re here to touch on the video games. Read on for the definitive list of the twelve most exciting upcoming zombie games.

All right, so I might be a little late with this news, but it would seem my new favorite video game composer Jesper Kyd is working on the score for one of the more intriguing upcoming zombie games, Undead Labs’ State of Decay. Kyd’s music has been heard in the Hitman and Assassin’s Creed series, but arguably some of his best work can be found in Darksiders II, released earlier this month. I’ve had that game’s soundtrack on repeat for the last week, and it looks like I’ll be doing the same for State of Decay. While we’re on the subject, what’s your favorite video game soundtrack or composer?

The intriguing open-world zombie game that’s been in development by Undead Labs has finally moved past its code name of “Class3.” Now, you can refer to it as State of Decay. I like that. It’s about as catchy as a renegade zombie virus. We had the opportunity to interview Undead Labs’ producer Emily Diehl last year about the game, which has been in development for some time now. It’s essentially what many of us hardcore zombie fans have been asking for: a realistic zombie survival game set in a big open world where you can fortify your home base, scavenge for food and ammunition, and rescue other survivors to strengthen your group. Head past the break for more info, including a slick new trailer.
