‘State of Decay: Lifeline’ Expansion Arrives in June

Published

Undead Labs has revealed a somewhat nebulous — but still very welcome — June release window for State of Decay: Lifeline. The game’s second expansion, after Breakdown, which released this past December, takes the military’s perspective as they scramble to form a defense against the undead hordes.

According to the developer, Lifeline will give players the ability to defend and fortify a substantial military operation, using “minefields and defenses to build and upgrade. Off-map artillery to call in. Well-trained soldiers who will guard weak points and respond to zombie threats. A stock of military-grade weaponry to use from several commanding positions. But in the end, when the zeds get into the heart of your base, it’s down to fighting tooth versus blade.”

In related news, our very own T. Blake Braddy recently had a chance to sit down with Jesper Kyd, composer on State of Decay, about his work on the game, as well as the new SyFy series, Metal Hurlant Chronicles. You can check that out here.

New Gameplay Teaser Shows off Key Mechanics for ‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ [Watch]

Over a year after it was first announced, developer PikPok has dropped a new gameplay teaser for their upcoming entry in the Into the Dead series with Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. We still don’t have a release date for the zombie strategy game, which is currently in development for an Early Access release on Steam later this year.

The new gameplay teaser shows off Our Darkest Days‘ high tension atmosphere, including key gameplay mechanics such as crafting meals and tools, healing survivors suffering from physical and mental injuries, and of course, fighting off zombies.

“We’re really excited to be showing off a snippet of what we’ve been working on since our announcement trailer in 2023,” says Juliann Lum, PikPok senior product manager. “So much more has gone into the game, including new ways for survivors to interact with the world around them, each other, and of course the dangerous undead that infest the city of Walton.” Lum went on to say that more reveals for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are coming over the next few months.

Set in 1980 Texas, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a 2.5D side-scroller where players must guide a group of survivors from shelter to shelter within the beleaguered Walton City, which is infested with the undead. Managing resources and survivors’ needs is crucial as players try to keep ahead of the rising threat while executing plans to escape the quarantined city area.

As mentioned, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, as well as fighting off the undead, all the while keeping constant movement as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs, as Our Darkest Days has a permadeath mechanic.
