14 Most Anticipated Video Game Sequels Of 2017 - Ranked

9. State Of Decay 2

All eyes are on Microsoft to pull an HUGE amount of exclusives out the bag for both the Xbox One and Scorpio this E3, but at least there's one we know is definitely coming: State of Decay 2.

The open-world survival game really hit its mark with an exemplary first instalment - so much so that multiple DLC packs and re-releases continued to sell strongly. Gameplay is a potent mix of melee combat, character meter-management, exploration and thinking on how best to manage your ragtag group of followers, the result being effortlessly engaging.

Best of all, time ticks by in State of Decay even when you're not playing (to simulate sleep or resting), encouraging you to come back and deal with the consequences of what went bump in the night.

If these sorts of fourth wall-breaking ideas are expanded upon, this State of Decay 2 could quite easily be this year's marquee zombie title.
