I don't know if anyone had any doubts about this, but it is good to have a confirmation from the developer.

Undead Labs: State of Decay 3 is in early pre-production
- Thread starter Uzupedro
- Start date
To expected, SoD2 is not that old.
But I'm ok with early CGI announcements. I just want to know what games to expect

Tbf this is common in the industry, unfortunately, for example we saw TLOU2 for the first time four years ago.
State of Decay to State of Decay 2 was only 3 years. No doubt this game is far away but probably not THAT far.
Phils whole supporting the ecosystem for the first two or so years being crossgenis starting to make so much sense now. Forza, Fable, State of Decay, Hellblade and Obsidians games are all probably Late 2022 to 2023.
Yeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
I wouldn't be surprised if what you saw in today's event was a severe case of 'announced-too-early' syndrome.
This isn't too surprising given that 2 isn't that old and the fact that the trailer didn't really give much information on the game. I am surprised they opted to announce it now if that's the case though.
Yeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
Keeping that in context, there's a difference between revealing a 1st party game which you have complete confidence and control over, and 2nd party new IPs which can be a crap-shoot.
Isn't Undead first party now though? I fail to see the difference.
I mean I'm not surprised.
Microsoft had to announce something, yeah it's early but they couldn't go another show saying nothing about what's happening with their first party.
He just keeps contradicting himself all the timeYeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
And that "next-gen is the biggest jump" quote was a record-breaking for how soon he flipped it
2017. Next gen blow out is a different, and stuff like this is expected. Because you'd be here saying what are these new acquisitions doing.Yeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
I was referring to the previous statement of not showing games too early. Now that Microsoft owns these studios, they'll show these games too early.
Theory: For games that come to GamePass, there is no such thing as "too early" when announcing new games. We'll see how this works out.
I tend to agree. It lets subscribers see what's coming down the pike. Who cares if it's early? Would the game somehow be better if it hadn't gotten a CG trailer?
I've never been a fan of this sort of announcements, but to be fair look at the fan reception of something like E3 2015 by Sony which teased a 2019 and a 2020 game respectively. COVID-19 clearly screwed up plans for everyone, so both Sony and Microsoft presented a lot of dateless stuff that who knows when will become actual games. Not a fan of these announcements, but at least on Microsoft's side there's the fact that all these games will eventually be on Game Pass, so if you commit to the service you'll get your hands on the games eventually.
Absolutely no point in showing it then. Comments like this really make me feel like Microsoft haven't got their ducks in a row.
Games a way off, CG trailers and hardly any gameplay and even when we did get gameplay, there were technical issues or the games flat out didn't look next gen.

Just out of interest what exactly do game developers do in pre-production? Plan and design what the game will look like before actually implementing it?
Yeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
MS was the publisher of those games, even when they didn't own the studios. They decided when games get shown, not other people.
It's really not that complicated. Statements from execs that defend or argue against certain business decisions are not some guiding pillar of truth.
Yea they aren't three years out they are 4 years out and in preproduction or pre alphaYeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
Right? Don't get the too early comments? Movies have announcements all the time without filming a single frame. I appreciate knowing about future endeavors. Is it because you don't have patience and upset over that?
People got mad at them for not announcing what their studios are working on and now people are mad for the opposite. I guess they can't win with (certain) posters here.
People change their mind. Hardly a crime if that's the worst you can find.Yeah. A lot of Phil's past quotes have come back to haunt him today.
inexile and the initiative projects are evee more far away...
so, what to expect Microsoft studios for 2021 and early 2022?
nothing??
something doesn't look right in MGS for me.
that halo demo was really bad and is a game with 5 years of production.
