How do you meaningfully add to a game that\u2019s been in players\u2019 hands for five years? In the case of State of Decay 2<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, you throw a curveball. This new update, coming to players for free on September 18, is a landmark moment for the game \u2013 not just offering a swathe of new content for the game\u2019s most dedicated players and newcomers alike, but marking a new era in State of Decay 2<\/em>\u2019s development through the work of Wushu Studios.<\/p>\n

Wushu, from Liverpool, England, will continue providing support to State of Decay 2<\/em> as much of original studio Undead Labs transitions to work on the next entry in the series \u2013 but where you might expect that support to be incremental, Wushu is making a very big splash. Curveball is a major update, touching almost every element of the game, and designed to consistently offer brand new challenges, even to those who have been playing State of Decay 2<\/em> since release.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Available after the fifth in-game day, curveballs can change the world around your settlement in some very<\/em> interesting ways. Housed in a new menu, curveballs will periodically appear \u2013 each with their own narrative attached \u2013 offering new objectives, rewards, enemy types and much more. Curveballs can be positive (like finding increased loot) or negative (like buffing regular zombies in multiple ways); they can be timed or objective based; they can affect enemies, your survivors, or other NPCs. Effectively, any element of the game you may have gotten comfortable with can, and often will, change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe basically wanted to address the feedback that over time the game became a bit repetitive relatively quickly,\u201d Undead Labs\u2019 Meg Chaney and Eric Anderson tell me, \u201cso we wanted to introduce something that would shake things up and keep the game changing as players spend more time with the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor experienced players, the later stages of State of Decay 2<\/em> can get a little predictable,\u201d adds Wushu\u2019s John Hollingworth. \u201cThat\u2019s why we are introducing curveballs. This feature is designed to keep you on your toes by adding random events and world-changing modifiers to the game. It introduces new layers of challenge and unpredictability to keep the wasteland fresh, exciting and dangerous. These new scenarios help to develop more unique stories around your survivors, so whether you\u2019re a seasoned survivor or just starting out, each session and playthrough will feel different to the last.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SoD2<\/figure>\n

To enforce that unpredictability, curveballs are fairly random \u2013 while a few are tied directly to actions you take in the game, many can appear completely unexpectedly \u2013 and you can even have multiple curveballs active at the same time. \u201cWe think it\u2019s going to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride for seasoned players,\u201d Chaney and Anderson explain. \u201cSome of the curveballs may only require minor adjustments to tackle or will provide new opportunities, but some of them can be pretty vicious and require major adjustments to their tactics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, the most obvious of those changes comes in how curveballs can affect your most frequent targets: zombies. \u201cZombies were the first and most obvious target for modifiers,\u201d Hollingworth tells me. \u201cWe wanted to lean into the idea that there is an ebb and flow of mutational outbreaks within the population as a result of events occurring in the world, or the Plague attempting to push back and fight the enclaves.<\/p>\n

\u201cZombie side effects can include lethal physiological changes or heightened senses. Some examples can be things like stronger zombie attacks, improved eyesight, hearing and even smell to zero in on survivors out of sight. Zombies may explode with decomposed bile gunk when killed or carry a stench that suffocates and drains the stamina of any survivor up close. These are just some of the challenging mutational modifiers. However, zombies may also carry side effects that make them weaker. They can become frail, slow down, and in turn be easier to behead and knock down by affecting their center of balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SoD2<\/figure>\n

To put this into context, all of this can happen to just a single enemy type \u2013 with so many modifiers on the table, it\u2019s clear how wildly different the form of curveballs could be from one player\u2019s game to another. But the point is that curveballs shouldn\u2019t make it feel like you\u2019re suddenly playing a different game, just a warped <\/em>one (and you can even turn the feature off entirely if you\u2019d prefer to play the base game as it was). \u201cWe have touched on a lot of different systems but only to an extent which complements the current gameplay,\u201d explains Hollingworth. \u201cWe wanted to ensure it narratively fit and could be justified within the simulation as to not break the immersion.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the curveballs don\u2019t end with what\u2019s coming to the game on September 18. \u201cWe also are hoping to introduce more player control over the feature over time, so ultimately it should be up to the player to determine how much of an impact they want curveballs to make,\u201d Chaney and Anderson tell me.<\/p>\n

This is just the start of Wushu\u2019s work on State of Decay 2<\/em>, and you can expect the game to see more updates as time goes on \u2013 but the team wants to spend some time after its big new feature making sure that its players are feeling heard, too: \u201cWe\u2019ll be putting a bit more time into tackling some items from the player wishlist and addressing existing player concerns,\u201d says Hollingworth of the near future. \u201cSome of them may require extensive overhauls to existing systems, but mostly I think we\u2019ll be focusing on improving what\u2019s already there and making sure it matches players\u2019 expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SoD2<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s rare to see such a significant new idea added to a game after five years, and it seems Undead Labs and Wushu have more plans to come: \u201cSoD2<\/em> has an incredibly loyal player base and a phenomenal community,\u201d says Chaney, \u201cso our primary goal is to continue to provide them with meaningful content and gameplay updates! This game is 5 years sexy and we\u2019re going to keep the party rolling\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Make sure to check out the Curveball update when it arrives in State of Decay 2<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>on September 18.<\/p>\n
