State of Decay 2 is set to welcome people home next week, with the Homecoming update

During the recent Xbox Gamescom Showcase, Undead Labs popped up, sadly not to talk about State of Decay 3, but instead to announce that State of Decay 2 is getting a big update next week, called Homecoming.

Fans of the series might recognise parts of that new location, because it isn’t actually new, instead the Homecoming update is bringing players back to Trumbull Valley, but instead of it being the same place, it is now an open world to explore and more importantly survive in.

In this new version of the iconic map, players will learn about the latest developments in this area, discovering new characters and storylines and resolving long-running plot threads.

Players can also look forward to six new bases, as well as unique weapons and outfits that can only be found in Trumbull Valley. New missions and new achievements await those who choose to settle on this new map.

The update is set to launch next week on September 1st and is free to all existing State of Decay 2 owners, but if you don’t own the game, fret not, as it is included within Xbox Game Pass, so you can start today and be ready for the update.

The game is available on Xbox One, PC via Steam, Epic Game Store and Windows 10 Store, along with backwards compatibility support for Xbox Series X|S
