It’s been confirmed that The Day Before’s servers will be shut down on January 22, 2024, as developer Fntastic has now “officially ceased operations.”
Rockstar Deletes All Instagram Posts Days Before GTA 6 Trailer
02.12.2023 - 13:39 / thegamer.com
We're just days away from getting our first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, after Rockstar teased a reveal for a game that couldn't be anything but the long-awaited sequel. It wasn't clear at first how much info the reveal trailer would give us, but now, we can confidently assume that it's going to be huge, as Rockstar deletes all of its Instagram posts in preparation.
Right now, the only post on the Rockstar account is the GTA 6 tease that dropped yesterday, simply telling us that "Trailer 1" will go live on Tuesday at 9am ET. With every Instagram post being wiped, it definitely seems that Rockstar is preparing to go all out on GTA 6 promotion, meaning this first trailer is likely to give away a bunch of details, perhaps more than we might expect.
Right off the bat, the studio has new characters to introduce. Thanks to the huge leak last year, we already know that we have two player characters this time around, a couple called Lucia and Jason. Lucia will be the first female character to lead a game in the series, so that's a huge development. It's likely we'll see much of the pair on Rockstar's social media accounts, hence the studio making space on its Instagram.
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but multiple reports indicate that GTA 6 will launch in 2024. It will presumably be available on PlayStation and Xbox at launch. Given previous trends, it may come to PC at a later date.
With any luck, all of this hyping up for the trailed means we'll get a release date too. Sure enough, we wouldn't typically expect this from a reveal trailer, but considering we have a release date for the trailer itself, it's safe to say that Rockstar has set expectations pretty high here. That, and the game has certainly been in development long enough to justify giving us at least a launch window now. You don't need me to tell you that it's been a long ol' wait since GTA 5 in 2023, now more than ten years ago.
Further proof that Tuesday's trailer will be huge is found in the fact that the Rockstar website received some changes too. In fact, the studio has rebranded its Social Club into the Rockstar Games Platform, seemingly to promote GTA 6. We'll have to wait and see what else the company has up its sleeve, but hopefully, we won't have to rely on the rumour mill much longer.

Inspired by The Day Before, this indie dev spent 160 hours over 9 months making a parody trailer - only for the game to shut down long before they could even finish
After seeing a few of The Day Before’s gameplay trailers, one indie dev decided to make a ‘parody’ trailer of their own to see how quickly they could whip up a video that captured a similar degree of promise. But when that project began, they couldn't have known what would eventually happen to The Day Before, and how much it would fail to live up to that promise.

The Day Before Delisted From Steam Days After Troubled Launch, Studio Fntastic Announces Shutdown
The Day Before, once Steam's most wish-listed open-world survival MMO, has been delisted from Valve's platform. The game launched in early access to an almost immediate flood of negative reviews last week, with most players claiming that it wasn't really an MMO but an extraction shooter reminiscent of Escape from Tarkov, combined with the post-apocalyptic threats of The Last of Us. The misleading gameplay claims were made worse by several game-breaking glitches that caused characters to clip off from the map, an incomplete and sparse world devoid of action, and inconsistent online features. Merely five days after release, the game is no longer available to buy on Steam and Fntastic, the studio behind the game, has announced it is shutting down and working on refunds for customers who bought the game.

The Day Before Early Access Review
Editor’s Note: Faster than we could publish our early access review, the developer announced it was shutting down and The Day Before was removed from sale . The servers remain up for those who have bought it and not yet refunded, but since our reviewer went to the trouble of playing it, it seems only right that you should get to read what he thought of the experience while it lasted.
