The Day Before Will Receive Raw Gameplay Footage in January

Many survival titles are coming soon, including sequels like Endnight’s Sons of the Forest. The Day Before by Fntastic is another hotly anticipated title, currently the second most wishlisted title on Steam. It boasts an immense scale, and while the trailers have looked neat, the absence of gameplay footage is concerning, especially since it’s out in March.

That’s ending soon, however, as the developer revealed on the game’s Discord (via TheCryptik on Reddit) that raw gameplay footage would be released later in January. “After careful consideration and discussions with our leadership team, we have received approval to share the information you have been eagerly anticipating.

“This month, we will be releasing raw gameplay footage, as per the numerous requests received from our community. This footage will showcase a majority of the features and gameplay elements requested by our community and will provide a clear glimpse into the current state of development for The Day Before. We hope you enjoy it.”

The Day Before was announced in 2021 and is an open-world, survival MMO set in the post-apocalyptic United States. As one of many survivors, you must scavenge for food, ammo, and resources while avoiding the infected. Other players are also encountered and can either make life more difficult or help you out.

Originally slated to launch on June 21st, 2022, The Day Before was delayed to March 1st, 2023, while the developer shifted to Unreal Engine 5. Along with PC, it’s in development for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Stay tuned for more details on the gameplay in the coming days.
