Microsoft GM of Games Marketing Aaron Greenberg told IGN (when asked about the low price tag on State of Decay 2) that “our goal is to build a long-term relationship with the State of Decay community and to foster deeper experiences with the franchise.”

“We believe State of Decay 2 accomplishes this goal by immersing fans in the ultimate zombie survival fantasy, and we want to give more players the opportunity to join in and experience this unique game.”

A gameplay trailer is releasing today at 9:00 am PST, while a month-long coverage is dropping on IGN First thanks to a partnership between the website and the American platform holder.

State of Decay 2 will have Paid DLC, but no microtransactions. Also, the game will feature a total of 3 Maps and each of them is as big as the first game.
