Philip Holt: State of Decay 3 development didn't ramp up until 2022-2023

State of Decay 3 developer Philip Holt said the game had only a small team since around 2020, and development didn't really pick up until 2022 or 2023. He noted that measuring from State of Decay 2's release, it's approaching eight years, and it's also been a long time since the first trailer with the infamous zombie deer.
