Is The Day Before a real game? \u201cFake\u201d game rumors spread after bizarre delay FntasticAfter The Day Before\u2019s delay over alleged trademark issues, many have begun to wonder if the game is possibly fake. The Day Before\u2018s reveal trailer in early 2021 took the internet by storm, with its Last of Us-like tone and MMO qualities instantly sparking online hype. It later became one of Steam\u2019s most wishlisted games, but even those most invested in its development grew wary over time. Generic and heavily scripted gameplay trailers seemed fine initially. However, pundits and prospective players note that such content is all anyone\u2019s seen of the MMO in action. The latest development, or lack thereof, in The Day Before saga has some thinking it\u2019s similar to PS5\u2019s elusive Abandoned. The Day Before\u2019s recent delay sparks rumors that it\u2019s fake Earlier this week, The Day Before mysteriously vanished from Steam. Developer Fntastic said it merely constituted a \u201cminor technical difficulty,\u201d then later alleged that a copyright claim caused the removal. Apparently, the copyright strike came as a result of the development house failing to secure The Day Before\u2019s trademark. The title, consequently, suffered yet another long delay, meaning it\u2019ll now launch on November 10, 2023. But it seems few people actually believe it\u2019ll hold firm to the new November date. In fact, many now believe the project doesn\u2019t exist at all. Popular content creator LegacyKillaHD wrote in response to the latest delay that \u201cthis game isn\u2019t real, lmao.\u201d The YouTuber pointed out the lack of real gameplay footage and the studio\u2019s wide array of excuses. \u201cNaaa, this just screams \u2018Abandoned PS5\u2019 scam all over again\u2026\u201d Another Twitter user replied to the LegacyKillaHD thread, arguing: \u201cFrom the jump the game was way too ambitious to be real. Especially with the size of the studio.\u201d What\u2019s more, YouTuber Skill Up has shared a screenshot of a message from the game\u2019s lead Discord mod, someone who recently teased an upcoming gameplay reveal. Evidently, the mod sits in the same boat as everyone else, wondering if The Day Before may be fake. If The Day Before does represent another PS5 Abandoned-like situation, this may be a long con with no real ending in sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
