If you want to play completely on your own, lets you do that.” Had we gone down a server-based model we’d have to have ongoing live service with it, and that would also limit the potential for those who’d rather play offline. “There were a lot of factors that led to. Those hoping for a Destiny-like approach to multiplayer will be sorely disappointed, but there’s good reason why Undead Labs went down the route it did. Unfortunately, due to the nature of a hands-on session, not everyone wants to play ball, so if you do get separated from the host, there’s a bounding area that’ll warp you back towards them.
In my time with its co-op mode, it was clear there was a benefit to having more players around to lend a helping hand. We could have created something that was purely instance-based, where everyone supports each other, but it felt a lot better to be helping someone build up their base.”Īs all resources in State of Decay are finite, having extra hands around to help you pick up and ferry them back to base safely – and in bulk – is a definite asset to have. “We wanted to make sure that it felt that you were contributing to something. Gameplay works in a similar way to the co-op mode of Far Cry 5, three players can jump into another player’s campaign and work as a team of four to complete objectives and gather resources to help build up a community together. “We didn’t need to do too much research to know that people really wanted co-op,” Foge explained to me when asked about the new multiplayer features of State of Decay 2.

However, there real single-player story and gameplay comes from managing your base. You’ll grow your settlement into multiple small outcrops, helping manage a central base with support facilities as you recruit more members into your community.Įach character will have their own personal quest to undertake, which helps direct the general overarching story of State of Decay 2. This takes shape as leading a set of survivors, jumping between various people to help build a settlement and make life more bearable. Your job isn’t to get one person, or a small group of people, through the toughness of this post-apocalyptic wasteland – you need to help humanity rebuild. Instead, it takes the focus of survival and places it into a community aspect. State of Decay 2 may well be a survival game, but it’s not of the same ilk as past gaming fads as DayZ, Rust or H1Z1. So, if the story is designed to be an individual tale crafted by the player instead of the development team, what is the focus of State of Decay 2’s single player mode?
