After the announcement of Dead Labs State of Decay 3 in Xbox Showcase 2024, fans are most concerned about the title’s release date. While rumors already suggest that it will be delayed to 2026, an insider revival provides a more specific timeline for the game’s arrival.
According to reliable insider Jez Corden, he has heard that State of Decay 3 will be released in the first half of 2026. This means that the State of Decay will launch between January and June 2026. However, given it is not an official statement, so take this as a rumor.

What is more interesting is that the insider increased our anticipation for the title. According to Jez Corden, The State of Decay 3 is a banger, which means that it will be an unforgettable experience with highly engaging post-apocalyptic survival horror gameplay.
It’s worth noting that Jez Corden also previously said that the State of Decay 3 was pushed back to 2026. So, the insider has great insight into the title. Still, we suggest taking this with a very, very little pinch of salt.
An Xbox showcase is coming up, and there is developer direct next year, so we could see an announcement of the title launch date at these events.
State of Decay is not the only Xbox game to be pushed to 2026, as the upcoming action RPG Fable has also been delayed. Given that Fable is also in good shape, according to the latest trailer revealed, the insider says that Xbox will not launch Fable on top of State of Decay 3. So, Fable might be released in the middle of 2026.
Rumors also suggest that Gears of War E-Day is targeting the 2026 launch year. Hence, Xbox has many bigger plans for the next year. However, it will be interesting to see how Xbox handles the sequence of these titles’ releases.
