The Day Before is among the most anticipated games of 2022 and it was supposed to land next month only. But because life is full of unforeseen events, it turns out that the developers preferred to move the release date… to next year. And for a specific reason.

from the day before to the next year

To all those who wished to pounce on The Day Before on June 21 as planned, review your plans: the title just got severely pushed back. Severely yes, because we are not talking regarding a postponement of a few weeks or a few short months, but of almost a year: the game will finally land on March 1, 2023.

Horror and damnation. Why ? How ? By what right ? Fortunately, Fntastic released a little official press release and the answer is clear: the developers finally chose the path of Unreal Engine 5, the brand new engine from Epic Games. And to do this, they simply need a (big) extra time to convert their data and use this beautiful, brand new tool with dignity.

Millions of people have added The Dead Before to their wishlists, making The Day Before one of the most anticipated games in the world.

Feeling and understanding the great responsibility upon us and with immense gratitude in our hearts, we are happy to announce that The Day Before is moving to the new Unreal Engine 5 technology! The transition to a more advanced and responsive open worlds engine will make The Day Before gameplay even more fantastic.

In this regard, we inform you that the new release date of the game is March 1, 2023.

The Unreal Engine 5, an engine up to the ambitions?

It must be said that from the beginning, The Day Before raises the question. This is an MMO set in a post-apocalyptic universe, mixing raw action and survival while giving players the opportunity to make alliances, to face other clans and even to interfere in battles once morest the “infected”. More than one time, The Day Before was compared to The Last of Usbut also to The Division from which it is clearly inspired.

The open world (which we are told is gigantic) is located both in huge urban cities and underground or in the surrounding countryside; there will be a whole weather system and above all, the technique has always been advertised as first-rate. In any case, the gameplay sequences already published have more than one salivating, to the point of becoming one of the most anticipated projects on Steam.

It is for all these reasons that the title has won over the public: however, many also believe that the ambitions of the game are disproportionate, especially for this studio unknown to the battalion, founded in 2015 only and located in Lakoutsk, in central Siberia, in Russia. The Unreal Engine 5 might therefore meet the needs of developers to better realize their desires. We wish them, in any case.
