MMO survival game The Day Before has become recognizable for its contentious development process, and with its release date fast approaching, many remain concerned over a lack of concrete updates. Fntastic has been working on The Day Before since 2019, through which many twists and turns have hurt its reception among fans. Between visual and engine changes, a trademark dispute, and contention surrounding its gameplay trailer, the once highly wish-listed title has been the center of a number of controversies, including a delisted Steam page.
