State Of Decay: Year One Survival Edition Will Have A PC Retail Release
Nordic Games will soon be bringing the hit zombie survival game to retail stores. The PC version is getting a decked-out collector's edition, joining the Xbox One retail version that has been available since 2015.
State of Decay was an open-world zombie game with an emphasis on survival. Microsoft recently announced State of Decay 2, but the publisher is also partnering with Nordic Games to release the Year One Survival Edition of the game at retail outlets across the country. The physical edition of the game will include two major DLC packs, Breakdown and Lifeline, as well as a double-sided A3 poster and the game's soundtrack. State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition will release on August 9 for only $19.99. Check out the box art below:
Note: This story has been updated to reflect that this is a retail release for the PC version.
Our Take
State of Decay wasn’t a perfect game (read our review here), but it developed an impressive following. With a retail release, it seems that the series is really reaching a mass audience.
