The Day Before, developed by Fntastic, has had a challenging journey to its release, marked by several delays and controversies. Everyone can get a hiatus right now, as the game is finally available on Steam.
Initially set to launch in late January, the game was delayed until November 10th due to a trademark dispute. This legal issue postponed the game’s release, affected the debut of its official gameplay trailer, and led to its temporary removal from Steam.
It’s been quite the journey. Despite these setbacks, Fntastic has been committed to returning the game to players. They announced a pre-launch beta to provide an early experience of the game and gather feedback for further improvements. This move aligns with the company’s goal to involve the community actively in the game’s development process.
The game promises an intense, post-pandemic MMO survival experience set in the present day on the US East Coast. Players can expect a blend of survival elements, including combat against other players and the infected, exploration in a richly detailed environment, and societal rebuilding aspects.
