Update:

Undead Labs' Jeff Strain has confirmed that co-op will not come to State of Decay

He explains, " It's not simply a matter of adding the technology, but also redesigning core game systems to support multiple players, and then adding new content designed for people to play together. It's easy to imagine how all that would come together — as many have said, the game is practically begging for it — but retrofitting the game to add that experience would take the rest of this year, and well into the next. Worse, it would preclude our ability to offer any other kind of support for the game, including Title Updates and DLC."

@cryohydrates I don't have anything, like, OFFICIAL to announce, but my understanding is that it's looking less likely. Waiting for details.

@haddenhawk There was no promise. We said we wanted to, it killed us to cut it, and we had hopes for the future. Those things are all true.

@haddenhawk But I don't know what the future holds, and it is looking unlikely right now.
