| Angelus said: Curious what's going on with State of Decay. Wasn't that announced for 2026 last year, or am I misremembering? And do Everwild and Contraband even still exist? They've been announced almost as long as Elder Scrolls 6 at this point |
State of Decay 3 is rumoured to be releasing in Early 2026 according to Jez Corden. The developers kind of fucked up by posting an ARG tease before the showcase which made people think they would be showing something. They've responded today and said they basically didn't want to make a trailer because they'd rather focus on making the game.
Everwild still exists, Rare was even using Everwild themed graphics in their tweets last year for certain things. Recent talks from insiders are that development has been going smooth for a while now, Andy Robinson who is a British journalist with close ties to Rare and worked at Playtonic for years seems enthusiastic about it as well and was one of the ones who said things are good now.
Contraband on the other hand, has had repeated leaks about development being rough, missed deadlines and "soft-reboots" to the concept, if I'm going to be honest, I never had much faith in Avalanche to begin with and I'm unfortunately starting to wonder if it's a sunk-cost fallacy and a cancellation may be for the best, if it doesn't release in 2026 then...
I don't think there's any particularly strong reason to worry about SoD3 or Everwild but there is for Contraband.
