In zombie fiction, the military is often the go-to badguy. They’re the hammer to which every problem is a nail, blindly mowing everything down to serve some unknown goal.
But this view is fairly one-sided and naïve. On the State of Decay team, we have a different perspective (some of us firsthand) — the military is made up of many good men and women who stand on the line that divides safety and civilization from chaos and war.
Few people have a greater opportunity to make life-altering choices than soldiers. They’ve played that role as side characters in the original State of Decay...but now we are adding a new story, in which you take on that responsibility yourself.

Lifeline will have you taking control of Greyhound One, a "small surviving unit that has been sent to the fallen city of Danforth to rescue scientists whose research is critical to fighting the outbreak."
There will be a chain of command and "access to off-map" support during this DLC that takes place during the height of the crisis. It differs from the main story in that you now start off well-equipped but slowly lose resources and supplies as time goes on. To this end you must adapt and find other ways to survive as resources run dry.
You can find out more about State of Decay: Lifeline from the Undead Labs site.
