The Day Before Devs Announce Beta and Promise No More Delays

Fntastic has announced that its highly anticipated yet controversial MMO The Day Before is getting a beta, and has promised it won’t be delayed between now and its launch on November 10, 2023.

Kentain, an administrator on The Day Before’s official Discord, posted there to say the game will definitely hit its November release date “without any further delay”. The beta test will take place “as we get closer to the release date”, they added, but no specific date or window was shared.

“This will give players the opportunity to try out the game before it is released and provide valuable feedback that we can use to improve the final product. We will provide more details on the beta test as we approach the release date, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.”

The Day Before was originally due to launch in June last year before it was delayed for a first and then a second time. The latter was claimed by Fntastic to be over a trademark dispute that resulted in the game’s Steam page being taken down, but the developer later admitted to IGN that it had already planned a delay.

Fntastic then faced several other accusations including that it had copied elements of other games and even that The Day Before was a scam altogether. The developer denied both of these claims, however.

“We only believe in the final product. No matter what anyone says, you’ll see for yourself on November 10 this year,” it said. “We hope that after the game’s success, we’ll give people faith that in this life, if you persevere toward a dream, it will come true, despite all the obstacles and doubts.”
