Developer Fntastic and publisher MYTONA have premiered a brand-new trailer for The Day Before, offering a sneak peek at this post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival game. An exciting announcement was also made at the end of the trailer, revealing that The Day Before is scheduled to launch on December 7, 2023, in Steam Early Access.
The Day Before‘s development journey has seen multiple delays, with initial plans for a June 2022 release, which was subsequently pushed back to November 2023 and finally settling on the upcoming December 2023 launch. The recent delay is mainly caused by the problem it had earlier this year when a private individual registered “The Day Before” name and requested Steam to remove the game.
Fortunately, the developer confirmed today that it has successfully reclaimed the name “The Day Before,” following a decision from the Intellectual Property Tribunal. Moreover, the Steam page for the game has already been restored by Valve and will be opened very soon.
Fntastic further revealed that they have chosen to launch The Day Before in Early Access since it is their very first major project and recognizes that it might encounter unforeseen challenges. The full release is promised once the developers are confident in delivering the best possible version of the game.
The narrative of The Day Before unfolds on a post-pandemic United States East Coast, where players find refuge with the survivors of the Woodbury Colony. Before embarking on their journey through the desolate post-apocalyptic landscape, players will have the opportunity to personalize their characters through a range of customization options.
Within the Woodbury Colony, survivors are hard at work rebuilding their community, continuously in need of essential supplies, building materials, and various resources. It will be the players’ main task to bring as much valuable loot as possible. In return, they will be rewarded with a local currency, called Woodbury coins.
As players venture through the open world in search of loot, they’ll encounter formidable adversaries, such as infected creatures and rival players seeking to take their supplies. To counter these threats, players will wield various weapons, each with its unique characteristics, reload, and recoil mechanics. Players will also use their accumulated Woodbury coins to purchase ammunition, protective gear, weapon upgrades, backpacks, food, drinks, and medicine to assist them in their journey.
Prior to its temporary removal, The Day Before had gained substantial traction, ranking as one of the most wish-listed games on Steam. Drawing inspiration from popular titles like The Last Of Us and Call Of Duty, the game boasts a detailed environment and engaging combat mechanics that have garnered significant attention from the gaming community.
