Thanks to an Early Access release, The Day Before release time is coming a great deal before many of us likely imagined.
The road to release for the post-apocalyptic open-world MMO has been bumpy. The Day Before has long occupied a spot among Steam’s top wishlisted games thanks to an appealing premise, but controversy isn’t typically far away. Developer Fnatic raised eyebrows among plenty when it put a call out for part-time volunteers to do community and translation work for non-monetary rewards. Fans also grew concerned as they neared an earlier release window without seeing much of the game, leading many to joke that it likely didn’t exist. That wouldn’t be the worst of it, as the developer would then be forced to delay the Steam MMO due to a trademark dispute that would eventually be solved.
Between all of that, though, we have seen some glimpses of the game. What we’ve seen so far tells of a game where you’ll do lots of scavenging and resource managing while chopping down the odd zombie. Fnatic promises that’s the tip of the iceberg, though we don’t have long to wait and find out. The Day Before releases in Early Access on December 7, and you can read on to see exactly when the Steam MMO unlocks in your timezone.
