With the server shutdown, the chapter surrounding the survival MMO The Day Before will finally be closed.
On January 22nd, The Day Before’s servers were shut down, less than two months after the start of Early Access, ending an inglorious chapter in the gaming industry.
Even before the launch, doubts had arisen about developer Fntastic’s product; the promises of the small studio, which was noticeably reserved in presenting game material, seemed too big. The fact that the gameplay announced for January 2023 initially failed to materialize due to disputes over naming rights fueled the rumor mill as to whether the game even existed. However, the scenes shown later failed to convince the audience of the quality of the title.
On December 7th, Fntastic dared to start early access for the controversial game. As you’ve probably noticed, this ended in a fiasco. Just a few days after the launch, thousands of extremely negative reviews had already accumulated on Steam, and the developer then spoke out and announced that the studio would be closing. Shortly before Christmas, publisher Mytona finally announced that the servers would only be operated until January 2024 and pointed out the refund options.
