Undead Labs has announced that, with the help of support team Wushu Studios, Legacy Awaits will be the final major content update for State of Decay 2. Launching as a free patch across PC and Xbox — including Game Pass — the title's 38th update brings a collection of new and returning outfits, vehicles and weapons, some big quality-of-life improvements, a selection of 'game adjustments' and some major bug fixes to the zombie-slayer.
The team's list of changes has been fully explained in a detailed Steam blog post, where we get early looks at some of the big updates being made in State of Decay 2's final patch. Here's how Undead Labs introduces its Legacy Awaits update:
"In this update we are addressing long-standing issues, introducing various Quality of Life improvements, and permanently unlocking previously gated or seasonal content, such as the Wizard Van and Winter outfits.
This is our final update for State of Decay 2, but this is not the end of the journey! We are now shifting all our focus and resources to development of the upcoming third instalment, State of Decay 3."
And there you have it - we were going to mention the upcoming State of Decay 3 here, but the team has beaten us to it. Announced more than four years ago before Xbox Series X|S was even out, SOD3 is still coming from Microsoft, and we're happy to see more resources shift over to that game's development.
This update should be rolling out now for all State of Decay 2 players, and for the extensive list of fixes and changes, check out the Steam blog link down below. It's fantastic to have seen this level of support from Xbox on SOD2, but we're more than ready to see State of Decay 3 grace our screens!
