State Of Decay's Lifeline Expansion Out Today
Undead Labs has announced that State of Decay's second major piece of post-launch support is arriving today. Lifeline lets players see the zombie outbreak from the military's perspective, and it doesn't look as though things are much better on that side.
As Mike wrote in his hands-on preview, the DLC adds a host of new characters, gameplay tweaks, and, most importantly, a new map. Players can use new defenses around fortifications, such as minefields and explosive canisters. Since you're in the military, you can radio back to HQ to call in air support, but unless you keep salvaging military equipment in the world (while risking permadeath from zombies), supplies are limited.
Lifeline is available today on Steam and the Xbox Marketplace for $6.99.
Our Take
I'm going to be spending a big chunk of time playing this over the weekend, and I'll fire off some impressions next week. I'm excited about all the new addition – especially a new map – but I'm particularly stoked that trucks are actually useful, and they can carry loot. Finally!
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.
