Undead Labs has announced that they’ve partnered with independent support team at Wushu Studios to flesh out the upcoming Curveball update for State of Decay 2. Players can expect an all-new feature in the game where random, dynamic events can actively change the circumstances that your survivor community is currently experiencing.
Curveball events can have effects on your community by influencing good and bad days that change your survivors' stamina, morale, and effectiveness while other events are more world specific and can affect loot, radio actions, and hostile survivors passing through. Zombies, too, can experience the effects of curveballs and players may see mutations that effect damage and speed or resistances. Plague Hearts can also change over time, and infestations are a breeding ground for mutations and catastrophes.
There’s just one catch—only users with access to the Public Test Realm on Steam can access the new feature. If you like your community and State of Decay experience as it is, by the way, don’t fret! You’ll be able to opt in/out of community curveballs. Console players and those whoplay on PCthrough the Windows store orPC Game Passwill have to wait a little longer to test their mettle through these new events.
