“We won back our name ‘The Day Before’! This was confirmed by the decision of the Intellectual Property Tribunal,” developer Fntastic says in asocial media statement. “We dedicate this victory to all our future players, and it’s all for them. For five years, we have been doing our best to give people this dream game. We also want to thank our volunteers for their constant support and faith in us.”

The game will be $39 when it hits Steam Early Access on December 7 at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT. The devs expect the Early Access period to last “around 6-8 months,” according to theSteampage. The full release will bring both a next-gen console version and a price increase to $49.

The news was accompanied by a new trailer breaking down the game’s features, which you can see below.

But it looks like we’re just over a month away from seeing how The Day Before has turned out for ourselves. Here’s hoping it can measure up after a long, messy road to launch.
