Once upon a time, The Day Before was the second-most wishlisted game on Steam. However, due to being delisted from YouTube and Steam amidst a trademark dispute, it has since fallen into obscurity. Nevertheless, just like a zombie, Fntastic, the game’s developer, isn’t about to give up.
As covered by PCGamesN, Fntastic is pushing through with the game’s launch on November 10. More importantly, a beta test is scheduled months before this. Finally, the company is saying that it will work hard to bring the game back on Steam.
It’s not clear yet when The Day Before beta will take place but it’s necessary if it wants to impress and bring fans back into the fold.
Until then, The Day Before will share the same unfortunate distinction with Abandoned, with games that technically exist but don’t look like they will be out anytime soon if at all.
We still aren’t sure why Fntastic believes that it will be able to turn things around for The Day Before and how it can get rid of the pesky trademark that’s preventing Steam from listing the game. Or, maybe, the promise is more of wishful thinking than the studio actually having a breakthrough. We’re suspecting that we’ll learn more about The Day Before in the next few months as we inch closer to the game’s release date.
It is a pity that The Day Before’s reputation has suffered due to allegations of being non-existent and a scam, as well as a mostly-empty, possibly plagiarized trailer. These factors caused Fntastic to lose the goodwill of many gamers.
Only time will tell if The Day Before will meet expectations, or if the current release date will be postponed yet again. In the meantime, those seeking a zombie fix on PC can check out The Last of Us Part 1, Dead Island 2, and Dying Light 2.
