The Day Before is a survival MMO that is set to release on Steam, well… someday, perhaps. The game’s developers, Fntastic, said that it will be delayed by nine months because somebody else trademarked its name. Hell, even the gameplay trailer that was promised a long time ago was still on the way due to this legal issue.
While legal disputes are understandable, some gamers, including the game’s moderators on a dedicated discord server, are now doubtful on whether or not it will ever be released. Twitter user “Wholf,” the lead moderator of the server, has revealed that he’s not sure if it will be released at all. "Those who wonder if the game is real, I'm wondering the same thing right now,” they wrote on the server.
The studio, however, reached out to reassure players and its discord moderators through a statement posted on Twitter. Fntastic shared that they only need to consult with lawyers before they can publish the MMO.
