State of Decay Coming to Xbox One in 2015
Microsoft announced that XBLA's surprise zombie-survival hit from last summer will be making its way to Xbox One in an enhanced form called State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition.
Scheduled to release in Spring 2015, Year-One Survival Edition contains the two downloadable content packs – Lifeline and Breakdown. It also runs in 1080p and features other visual enhancements.
Undead Labs is also teasing additional content not in the previous version, but we'll have to wait until the game is closer to release to learn more.

Our Take
Honestly, I was not a fan of State of Decay. Plenty of other folks at the GI office enjoy the game, though, and they were very excited to hear the news. However, their first question was "Does it have co-op included?" The answer so far appears to be "no," which is a huge missed opportunity for a feature that was conspicuously cut from the game's original release.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
