As Steam players prepare to get to grips with the open-world zombie survival MMOThe Day Before, console fans are left waiting indefinitely.
Instead, the console versions are set to arrive alongside the full release, whenever that may be. “[The] full version release will happen when we are certain this is the best version of the game possible,” Fntastic explained, “and we believe that player feedback and involvement will greatly contribute to achieving this goal.”
The developer made the decision to launch in Early Access as this is its “first huge game and there may be unforeseen circumstances”. So, although it could be a considerable wait for the console release, the silver lining is that when it does arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X, it should offer a smoother experience from day one. OnThe Day Before’s Steam page, the developer estimates that the game will be in Early Access for “around 6-8 months” but says that “this could change.”
It’s been a long and rocky road to release for The Day Before. Having shot to the top of Steam’s most-wanted list, the game was subsequentlypulled from the storefront following a trademark dispute. It’s also suffered numerous delays, and last year, Fntastic wasseemingly seeking volunteers to help get the game out the door. With the launch now imminent, the studio has released a new3-minute trailerwhich delves into the features of the survival MMO.
