Toward Brighter Days
2020 brought all of us many challenges, and one of the most poignant was the civil rights activism across the United States on behalf of our BIPOC friends and fellow humans around the globe. Undead Labs stands wholeheartedly against racism and all forms of racial oppression.
Taking Action in 2021
This year during Black History Month, in close partnership with the NAACP, we commissioned an original T-shirt design by artist Ty Ferrell. The design was inspired by and building from the NAACP’s campaign, “We Are Done Dying,” and by the themes of hope and overcoming adversity as a community represented within State of Decay 2.
This striking original artwork will be available in two forms to all players and fans: as a free cosmetic item within State of Decay 2, and for purchase as a limited-edition physical T-shirt in support of the NAACP. Please see below for details on our financial donation.
T-shirt sales are only available between February 8 and March 1, 2021. No reprints are planned. Your purchase is not tax deductible.
Within the game, the digital T-shirt will be automatically added as a free item for all players.
It Takes All of Us
State of Decay 2 is a game about surviving together; the challenges of 2020 have shown us that we grow by working together and looking out for each other. We are proud to be part of the Microsoft family, which has committed to a robust plan of action to address racial justice. Here’s how Xbox is celebrating Black History Month this year.
How You Can Get Involved
The “We Are Done Dying” T-shirt is available between February 8 and March 1, 2021 only, at the official Xbox Gear Store. Players of State of Decay 2 can also log in any time after February 8th to have the digital version automatically added to their closet.
