The Day Before Servers Shutting Down on January 22nd, 2024

Publisher Mytona extends its "gratitude for the community's support" but must shut down the project due to no development team.

With developer Fntastic ceasing operations just days after The Day Before’s release, publisher MyTona has announced that servers are shutting down on January 22nd, 2024.

The publisher continues to offer refunds for Steam players, noting that the platform is “proactively” refunding. While it extended its gratitude to players, it revealed that there was no choice but to shut down the project due to the lack of a development team.

The Day Before launched on December 7th for PC via Steam Early Access. It faced multiple delays over the years, from shifting to Unreal Engine 5 to a trademark dispute (before the developer revealed that delay was planned before it emerged). Recent gameplay reveals also met with skepticism.

At launch, it immediately earned an “Overwhelmingly Negative” rating on the platform, with many pointing out the lack of VoIP, vaulting, melee attacks and more. Also, despite being marketed as an open-world survival MMO, it’s an extraction shooter (and not even passable one). Check out our review for more details.
