State of Decay 2 was recently unveiled, but the original game is still getting some attention: Nordic Games announced today that it'll release a boxed version of the first State of Decay on PC.

In a press release, Nordic announced that State of Decay: Survival Edition, which includes the two expansion packs for the game, will come to retail on August 9. It'll cost $20 and will include a clamshell case, the game on DVD (requires redemption of a Steam code), a poster, and the game's soundtrack on CD. You can check out a picture of the contents of the release below.

The game originally launched as a downloadable title on PC and Xbox 360, and was later ported to Xbox One. When it first launched in 2013, GameSpot gave it an 8/10, with critic Leif Johnson writing, "State of Decay serves up a near constant barrage of suspense and immersion that leaves even the briefest jaunts away from your home base tinged with the threat of death."

At E3 2016 this year, developer Undead Labs and Microsoft announced State of Decay 2 with a short trailer. Not much else is known about the game right now except that it's planned for release sometime next year.
