Rumor: ‘State of Decay 2’ to Debut at E3
And the E3 rumor mill keeps on churning. The latest is all about the planned follow-up to Undead Labs’ wildly popular post-apocalyptic zombie survival game State of Decay. Supposedly, it’ll make an appearance at Microsoft’s zombie-themed pre-E3 press conference, alongside our very first look at Dead Rising 4. The original game was a gargantuan success that broke records when it released three years ago, becoming one of the fastest-selling XBLA games of all time.
It’s an obvious candidate for a sequel. The only question is what kind of sequel will we get with State of Decay 2, because I doubt it’ll be the MMO that Undead Labs originally planned it to be — back when we knew it as Class 4 — before the spectacular collapse of the MMO genre.
Kotaku’s Jason Schreier says it’s time to duck. I say it’s time to run outside, arms outstretched and mouths agape, like we’re trying to catch snowflakes. E3 is going to be ridiculous.
Microsoft's E3 press conference theme will be death: Dead Rising 4, State of Decay 2, Xbox One…
*ducks*

Come on, Valve. The stage is set. Show us Left 4 Dead 3 so it can join State of Decay 2, Dead Rising 4, Resident Evil 7 and Telltale’s The Walking Dead: Season 3 in making this the Ultimate E3 Zombie Spectacular.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
