From This Day Onward, Class3 Will Be Known As ‘State Of Decay’
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.
One of the more interesting features in State of Decay is the way the world around you reacts to the decisions you make. It “develops in real-time, shaped by your actions, dynamically generating content based on your choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.”
Undead Labs has been open about the fact that this is very much a precursor to an even more ambitious zombie apocalypse MMO, known by the code name of Class4. Hopefully this game does well, because there can never be too many zombie MMOs.
The ambitious title doesn’t yet have a release date, but we can expect it in the (hopefully) near future on the XBLA and PC.

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.
