Undead Labs, the studio behind the State of Decay series, recently posted a job listing for a Senior Product Owner. The developer is looking for a candidate with experience in live services suggesting that the next installment may be much different than previous titles. The preferred qualification reads, "Experience with online multiplayer, game live services and operations."
The new job listing suggests that Undead Labs is moving to the live service model where the game will be supported for years. The live service model should keep things fresh as content is continuously added, making the game bigger and much more complex after launch.
