Da Undead Labs underskrev en eksklusiv aftale med Microsoft, gjaldt det for to zombie-titler. En af dem skulle være lidt mindre, og det fik kodenavnet Class3, og med erfaringen fra det første projekt i baggagen skulle udvikleren derefter starte et lignende MMO-projekt, Class4.
Class3 blev selvfølgelig det originale State of Decay, og udvikleren afslørede for nylig efterfølgeren State of Decay 2 på E3. Men som instruktør Jeff Strain har afsløret på et livestream via Twitch, så er State of Decay 2 ikke Class4, og er derfor ikke en MMO.
"This is not Class4, this is State of Decay 2. There's a big difference. You know, Class4 was something that we wanted to do probably in Summer 2009. The initial plan was to build a smaller game with Class3, that game became State of Decay, and then from there take it into a large scale online world experience with Class4.
When we started development on State of Decay 2, that was still a plan that was in our mind, but again that's not what State of Decay fans were asking for. Very few people were saying "Gee, I hope State of Decay 2 is kind of an online MMO type experience". The thing that people were actually asking for was cooperative multiplayer.
Det er forfriskende at se en udvikler der gerne laver om på projekter for at passe til spillerne, og her kan du se traileren.
