State of Decay 3 Is Back From The Dead, And You Might Be Able To Play It Soon
State of Decay 3(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/state-of-decay-3-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6526793/) has been missing in action from several Xbox livestreams and game showcases for years now, but at long last, the threequel has resurfaced, and developer Undead Labs has announced that it'll be hosting an alpha test for the zombie apocalypse survival game. Sign-ups are now live(https://playtest.stateofdecay.com/) for the State of Decay 3 alpha, and Undead Labs also posted a new video showing off teasing the long-in-development title. The alpha playtest will kick off in May, and participants can expect four-player co-op, new base-building and resource strategies, and plenty of combat. "If scavenging supplies in the middle of a zombie outbreak sounds fun to you, then grab your ruck, pack some mags, and register for a chance to be included in the alpha," State of Decay co-creator Brant Fitzgerald said, while adding that there will be more opportunities throughout the year to test out the game. State of Decay 3 was first announced in 2020, and updates on the game have been sporadic over the last six years. Earlier this year, head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan said that the game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/zombie-game-state-of-decay-3-is-still-alive-xbox-confirms/1100-6537637/) is "coming on really well," and that he'd made several visits to Undead Labs recently. This new look at State of Decay 3 comes at a time when Xbox is undergoing big changes behind the scenes, which began with the departure of Phil Spencer and the announcement that Asha Sharma would take over his role as Microsoft Gaming CEO.

Uncharted 5? Fans Believe Cryptic Naughty Dog Dev Post Is Teasing The Game
Naughty Dog's Uncharted series sold millions of copies across multiple installments, but the main franchise has been dormant since 2016's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End brought Nathan Drake's story seemingly to a close. Now, however, fans are theorizing that Naughty Dog might be returning to the franchise, thanks in part to a vague post from Naughty Dog creative director Shaun Escayg. A vague Instagram photo from February(https://www.instagram.com/shaunescayg/p/DU1ucoVD3zX/) of a cannon in a tropical environment that is captioned "research" is now making the rounds. People are theorizing that Escayg went to Fort George at Trinidad and Tobago(https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-creative-director-at-naughty-dog-shared-a-photo-with-the-caption-research-and-it-matches-the-vibes-of-a-certain-franchise.1481686/) to help research a new Uncharted game. It's rumored that merchants stored records and valuables at Fort George(https://nationaltrust.tt/location/fort-george/), further fueling the connection to Uncharted. Nothing is certain, of course, and Escayg might have been referencing pretty much anything with his post, or nothing at all.

Immersive Sim Heist Game Thick As Thieves Abandons PvPvE To Focus Only On Single-Player And Co-Op
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/03/2512db3c/thick-as-thieves-1.jpg.webp) When Thick As Thieves(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/03/03/a-legendary-team-returns-to-a-genre-it-helped-invent), the upcoming stealth game led by Deus Ex/Thief director Warren Spector, was first revealed, it was billed as an asymmetrical immersive sim that featured PvPvE gameplay. However, developer Otherside has announced that it’s abandoning that approach and is redesigning the game to focus squarely on single-player and co-op play. Thick As Thieves was first announced during The Game Awards 2024 and is set in the Scottish city of Kilcairn during an alternative version of the 1910s, where magic and technology co-exist. In the original pitch for the game, players attempt to pull off heists by exploring the city to track down clues, observe character behaviors, and use technology and magic to infiltrate guarded areas while outsmarting three human-controlled thieves pursuing the same goals. Similar to games like Deus Ex and Dishonored, Thick As Thieves is an immersive sim allowing players to manipulate its mechanics for creative problem-solving and could be played solo, in co-op, or in asymmetrical multiplayer. You can watch the game's most recent showcase from Day of the Devs 2025 below. In a Steam post(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3341000/view/519742851965256606), Otherside writes that as development progressed on Thick as Thieves, “we found that we were having more fun with solo and co-op play.” “So, we’ve taken a decision we feel is right for the game: Thick as Thieves is now focused on two-player co-op and single player,” says Otherside. Otherside states this change in direction allows them to “double down” on Thick as Thieves’ dynamic stealth gameplay. “We’re already seeing how this has strengthened the moment-to-moment action, whether you’re playing solo or with a partner in co-op,” Otherside writes. “We’ve had some fantastic moments while testing the game. Now we’re putting all our energy into making things even better as we build up to launch.” The team does not touch on whether this change will affect the release timing for Thick as Thieves, which is slated to launch later this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game is slated to receive a new trailer as part of the Triple-i Initiative, a recurring indie game showcase, next week on April 9, so we'll likely learn more then.
