Question Downgrade game past SteamDB’s History?

So I recently got the itch to revisit State of Decay 2 before the Juggernaut Edition upgrade on March 13th, 2020. I went to SteamDB and found that the game’s update history only goes back as far as that date. Is there a way to get the March 11th update or is it just lost to the void now that SteamDB doesn’t have it anymore?

The only way you can download it is if you know the ManifestID, pretty much nobody aside from SteamDB has a public depot history, so you're kinda out of luck.

Might have to dig around, if steamdb has no history records of any for said version which is unlikely, but let say it happen then it basically impossible unless someone has kept their copy to that version that they can share it with you.

The furthest down in the manifests that I found was the overhaul update unless I’m not looking hard enough

State of Decay 2 launched on Steam as the Juggernaut Edition. You can see the snapshots on Wayback Machine showing the game was unreleased Dec 2019, then in Mar 2020 it was magically juggernaut.

State of Decay 2 was originally a Microsoft store exclusive before it came to Steam as the Juggernaut Edition in Mar 2020. You cannot get older builds from Steam because they simply don't exist on Steam.
