From now until July 25, you can grab the dark puzzle-platformer for free! So yes, if you haven’t played the game that’s received accolades across the board (including a 2011 “Game of the Year” BAFTA nomination), then what are you waiting for?
I mean, besides that Collector’s Edition for Inside.
Limbo is also available on mobile devices, as well as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The story that is State of Decay 3 finally appears to be nearing its conclusion. After stating earlier this year that the game was still very much in development, publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Undead Labs have announced that the game will be launching on PlayStation 5 (which was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase), Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store in 2027.
In addition to the announcement, Undead Labs revealed a brand new trailer, giving players the first-ever look at gameplay for State of Decay 3.
According to Undead Labs’ Creative Director Kevin Patzelt, the team has already had playtesters on an Alpha version of the game, who are “having a blast.” The devteam plans on expanding the Alpha and then Beta list over time for players to come play. “We’ve got an audience that’s hungry for this game, the signups were fantastic, they’re going to keep growing and we want to get more.”
To do so, players can sign up for the waitlist to participate at the State of Decay 3 Playtest website. The first wave of playtests will be limited, but the team plans on sharing insights and feedback with everyone as they go, with more opportunities to participate “throughout the year.”
Set years after a zombie apocalypse nearly wiped out humankind, in State of Decay 3, you play as a community of survivors who must carve out a life for yourselve in a world gripped by a blood plague. Build up your settlements with friends, and destroy zombies.
It’s your story, and you must make tough decisions about where to live, what to build, and who to recruit into your community. Permadeath is an ever-present danger to your community, and every risk must be weighed against the reward.
