The Day Before is no longer on sale, and developer Fntastic has (supposedly) officially shut down, but the studio has issued yet another bizarre statement.
The controversial extraction shooter launched to overwhelmingly negative reviews in December, prompting it to be pulled from sale.
Publisher Mytona extends its "gratitude for the community's support" but must shut down the project due to no development team.
While it is no longer available on Steam, those interested in The Day Before can find expensive keys on third-party resellers.
Mere days after its early access launch, The Day Before publisher Fntastic recently announced that it was closing down.
Fntastic says the game has "failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue." All income will go towards paying off debts to its partners.
The Day Before's Early Access launch has seen quite a few players complaining about the game's various bugs and false premise.
"We didn't take a penny from anyone," Fntastic says, while also saying the game is not an "asset flip".
The game will be priced at $39.99 during its early access period. Its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S release has been delayed.
Fntastic's upcoming post-apocalyptic survival MMO has been caught amidst a trademark dispute, and is scheduled to release in November.
Fntastic's frequently delayed open world survival MMO The Day Before will receive a pre-launch beta, the developer has confirmed.
The creator of the calendar app "The Day Before" has confirmed that it has taken steps to "protect trademark rights".
"Disinformation needs to be dealt with as it can harm not only us but other indies and small/medium studios," the developer stated.
The UI, world design and visuals are showcased as players explore different buildings, but there's very little combat here.
The showcase was announced on the game's Discord and nowhere else. It will be an "experience like no other" that "you won't want to miss!"
Fntastic is "very confident" it will be resolved by November and will use the additional time for more improvements and polish.
Fntastic was planning to release a "lengthy" gameplay video this month but must now consult with lawyers due to the dispute.
It will showcase "a majority of the features and gameplay elements" while providing a glimpse into the state of development.
After a delay and shift to Unreal Engine 5, the open-world survival MMO will launch on March 1st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
"The transition to a more advanced and adapted open world engine, will make the gameplay of The Day Before even more fantastic," says Fntastic.
Fntastic's open world survival MMO, set in a post-pandemic US, is out on June 21st for PC with Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions in the works.
Fntastic and MyTona's open world zombie MMO shows off new gameplay, confims its PC release date, and confirms console versions.
13 minutes of the open world survival MMO have been released.
"Wait for a special announcement," says the developer.
Fntastic is "constantly improving the game, including graphics and animation."
Set in a deadly post-apocalyptic America full of zombies.
