The masterplan is, however, for Undead Labs' next game - codenamed Class4 - to be that MMO. There's no multiplayer in State of Decay, despite its obvious potential - that was deemed a bit far-reaching for this first project. He was lead programmer of World of Warcraft, and he co-founded Guild Wars developer ArenaNet. Another reason it's interesting is because it's made by a studio - Undead Labs - founded and run by Jeff Strain.


It sounds like a big game, which makes its XBLA release all the more interesting. Our Jeffrey took a closer look at State of Decay last autumn. You'll need to take raiding parties out to recover those things. Food, water, ammo and building materials will need to be scavenged from the local environment, at abandoned supermarkets and so on. But pimping your base comes at a cost: resources. Structures like first-aid tents, sleeping quarters, kitchens, workshops can be erected. The real hook though - as mentioned - is establishing a community of survivors.
