The Day Before Returns to Steam but Faces a Small Delay.
The Day Before, a survival MMO, unveiled a new gameplay trailer, giving players a glimpse of what's to come at the game's launch. However, the major news didn't come from the trailer. The developer, Fntastic, has faced challenges on the road to releasing The Day Before, including delays and a potential name change due to a trademark for 'Dayworld.' At one point, the game's Steam page was even removed. In their recent announcement, Fntastic confirmed the reinstatement of the Steam page and a planned release date for December 7, but with certain conditions.
The key point to highlight is that The Day Before will launch in early access on December 7. Fntastic mentions, 'This is our first major game, and there may be unforeseen issues. The full game release will occur when we're confident it's the best for the game, and we believe that player feedback will significantly help achieve this goal.

At this time, it's uncertain when the console version of the game will be available. The Day Before is initially launching on PC in its early access phase, and there's no confirmed release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. According to the Steam page, the team intends to keep The Day Before in early access for 6-8 months. If they adhere to this plan, it's possible the console versions might arrive next summer, but that's just a guess for now.
Presently, the confirmed information about Fntastic's plans is that The Day Before will start in early access on December 7. Initially priced at $39, it will later increase to $49 upon full release. The future plans beyond this are still uncertain as Fntastic continues to finalize its decisions.
What is The Day Before?
Described earlier, The Day Before is a survival MMO based in a post-apocalyptic world. The recent trailer highlights the various landscapes and customization choices available for character creation and weapon adaptation. It also showcases snippets of the first-person combat and provides glimpses of the different vehicles accessible in the game.
The Day Before appears to be an ambitious project, gaining significant interest by rising on Steam's Most-Wanted list. However, there have been accusations of the game borrowing elements from other games, but it remains unverified. Nonetheless, players can anticipate determining if the game lives up to the excitement when it debuts next month.
The PC version of The Day Before arrives in early access on December 7. Fntastic intends to maintain it there for around six months before potential release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
