State of Decay 2 expands significantly on the first game, adding cross-platform co-op for up to four players across Xbox One or PC.
Speaking to Xbox Wire, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg said:
“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”
