State of Decay 2 Update Adding Plague Territories On June 21st

State of Decay 2’s upcom­ing Update 25: Plague Ter­ri­to­ry, will go live tomor­row on Mon­day, June 21st. Devel­op­er Undead Labs showed a short video on Twit­ter which teased the update’s main addi­tion, Plague Ter­ri­to­ries. These are regions con­trolled by Plague Hearts that can’t be inhab­it­ed until the Hearts are destroyed.

Plague Ter­ri­to­ries have been a part of the play test­ing beta on Steam since last April. Undead Labs has yet to release the full patch notes for Update 25, so it’s unknown what the rest of the update con­tains. How­ev­er, oth­er fea­tures in the beta might give some hints. Land­mark Out­posts offer play­ers one of three options, depend­ing on what the land­mark is. Resource Out­posts pro­duce food, ammo, or oth­er forms of resources, and will also get the abil­i­ty to get upgrad­ed to increase its benefits.

These new fea­tures can’t be applied to exist­ing maps, so play­ers should either load a new map or change the dif­fi­cul­ty on a cur­rent map to receive the Plague Ter­ri­to­ries. While only the Plague Ter­ri­to­ries were con­firmed for Update 25, hope­ful­ly more will be known tomor­row when the update launches.
