From the industry’s most promising MMO to its worst launch of the year, there’s been a lot of talk about The Day Before. For worse and…for worse. So much so that the developers are talking about a “hate campaign”.
The end of the day
Three years ago, the world discovered The Day Before, an experience halfway between The Division and The Last of Us. The videos showcased gorgeous, ray-traced settings showcased across NVIDIA’s networks. “Our goal is to create the best survival MMO“, explained the co-founders of the young Thai studio Fntastic, based on Gaming Bolt. That same year, they released Popnight, a multiplayer hide-and-seek game that received lukewarm reviews, particularly due to technical issues, server issues, and long matchmaking wait times. This should have been a wake-up call for the entire industry.
The following months were full of missed appointments. The studio decided to upgrade to Unreal Engine 5, which took months of development. Time passes and The Day Before keeps getting pushed back. The studio explains that it is experiencing difficulties due to legal issues surrounding the brand. Meanwhile, no new gameplay material is shown. Finally February 2, 2023 is here, the day when Fntastic finally decides to publish a first excerpt.
