Steam’s Most-Wishlisted Game “The Day Before” is Releasing in November after Multiple Delays

In the dynamic gaming industry, The Day Before took gamers on a thrilling journey. This post-apocalyptic MMO promised zombie-filled adventures, reminiscent of The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, making it Steam's most wishlisted game.

The excitement began in January 2021 when Fntastic revealed the game with a stunning trailer showcasing seamless gameplay and high-quality graphics, breaking away from the usual sandbox survival genre. Months later, extended trailers and gameplay footage continued to build anticipation.

However, in May 2022, a delay was announced due to a transition to Unreal Engine 5, raising uncertainties. Communication from Fntastic decreased, and concerns emerged about unpaid contributors. The developer defended its "volunteering culture," further fueling doubts.

To regain trust, Fntastic improved communication, shared updates on a trademark dispute, and promised transparency. A development vlog was released, but skepticism persisted.

In April 2023, Fntastic announced a beta and pledged no more delays, setting a November 10, 2023 release date. However, many fans accused the developers of running a scam and questioned their ability to deliver a AAA-level title.

Further turmoil arose when The Day Before's Steam page was taken down due to a trademark dispute, leading to more delays. Fntastic's admission that the delay had been planned before the dispute added to the controversy.

As The Day Before approaches its new release date, it has faced highs and lows, leaving anticipation and skepticism. The gaming community eagerly awaits the final product.
