Described as the largest expansion for a State of Decay game so far, State of Decay 2: Heartland made its debut on the Xbox E3 2019 stage a few days ago. And it's out now for Xbox One, Windows 10, and via Xbox Game Pass. We also got more details on what to expect.

Compared to the more player-created narrative of the base-game Heartland is described as having its own narrative with branching paths for players to explore. This means limiting the characters players can control to two. The first being ex-con Quincy who will be accompanied by his partner Helena. With the second being Larisse, the daughter of local criminal Mickey Wilkerson, who will be accompanied by her aunt Fiona.



Heartland will offer up a new 10-hour campaign with enemies sporting new attacks as players struggle to survive. Here's a breakdown of the features.
