Zombie MMO The Day Before gets 10-minute gameplay trailer following latest delay

Developer Fntastic has shared a 10-minute gameplay trailer for its now twice-delayed open-world zombie survival MMO The Day Before.

Fntastic announced The Day Before back in 2021, and its striking reveal trailer helped propel it to the top of Steam's most wishlisted games chart. Since then, though, it's received two last-minute delays in rather bizarre circumstances - first, Fntastic suddenly announced it was switching development to Unreal Engine 5 a month before its initial June 2022 release date arrived, setting launch back by a year, then at the end of January, with just two months to go before its revised launch date, the developer pulled the game's Steam listing and announced another nine-month delay, this time blaming a trademark dispute.

The extremely limited amount of footage seen of The Day Before as all that played out only helped to fuel internet speculation the game was some sort of scam - suggestions Fantastic recently rebuffed, arguing, "We didn't take a penny from people: no crowdfunding, no pre-orders, no donations. The game is fully funded by Mytona, one of the largest mobile publishers in the world, who checked the game's build at every milestone per our contract."
