I think Undead Labs is dying.

It started as an open, friendly and fan-friendly video game maker that made a game they loved for themselves as much as for the fans and the money.

All of that is gone now.

There is just a handful of people left since the days of SoD1, and they have been replaced with activists who have brought claims of all sorts of nasty stuff against coworkers and the leadership. The focus is on other things than producing videogames.

Originally the studio only ever had a handful of people.

Its got literally 10x the amount of people since it first started developing sod1. But its still a relativly small group of ~130, But the studio itself is geared toward 3s developement.

They were more forthcomiing back in the day during the sod1 release which is when i tuned in. Since then they stopped talking about stuff before hand when they couldnt get sod1 multiplayer going. which is a thing people were super disappointed about.

In all that time of watching the streams and such the studio seems exactly as theyve been for at least the last 8 years.

Everytime theres an xbox studio people where Sod3 isnt they get dissappointed. And i get that. But they never said theyd be presenting.

I'd much rather them not saying anything than say something and the game be delayed or whatever shown never makes it in to the game. Be patient. Go play the other 5 billion games out now.

[Ladez]

Man, people obsess so much over this stuff. Who cares? Sure, it's fun to speculate what it might look like, but until the day it actually releases, it might as well never have existed.

[Kitty Eater]

They rather work on it than constant updates.

[WarBucks]

Certainly. theyve talked about making decisions for SOD2 development based on SOD1 telemetry. athey most definetly would be doing the same thing for 3

Not dead. They probably started in 2022 forgetting about the juggernaut update we completely rework the graphics I think definitely the lighting they added a map they’re adding new guns and items. They frequently update the game. A lot of the studio staff are probably experienced some struggles in complaints, but it is wrong. It’s just so much larger.
