Best of all, this is a free, automatic upgrade for all existing owners of State of Decay 2, including all Xbox Game Pass members... We created a brand-new open-world map for players to explore in a rugged logging town named Providence Ridge, and we completely rebuilt the post-tutorial experience to better teach players the key facets of playing State of Decay 2. There's also a new category of heavy melee weapons that reward player skill and timing, a wide range of graphical improvements, and dodge and stealth are now split into separate commands as part of an improved control scheme. We also fixed dozens of mission and gameplay bugs to ensure a better experience for all players, improved the audio experience, including additional music that doubles the total amount in the game, and more... if you already own Daybreak, Heartland, or purchased the Ultimate Edition of State of Decay 2, we're sending you some exclusive in-game gifts that won't be available anywhere else... launching for the first time on Steam with cross-network play across all platforms... We can't wait to share it with you on... March 13.
