State of Decay 2 is finally happening, and it will be released sometime in 2017. One of the key things we’re getting with this sequel is the introduction of co-op play (for up to four players), as indicated by the game’s reveal trailer. Now we have some details on how this feature will work.
Remember how the flare was used in the trailer? Yeah, well, that wasn’t just there for show. Flares will actually be the items used to initiate co-op play among group of survivors.

I think this is a very neat way to handle co-op, especially in a survival game like this. I can already imagine intense moments where, surrounded by an overwhelming horde, you might be left with no choice but to shoot off a flare into the sky to help ensure your survival. Now I’m getting flashbacks to all of the characters I lost in the first game, especially the ones I became attached to…
