The new survival MMO The Day Before has released a 13-minute long trailer, highlighting the game’s gameplay. Some players, however, ridicule that it looks very similar to other zombie games.
This is The Day Before: In the new survival MMO, you awaken without memories in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. You are one of the few humans immune to the terrible zombie virus.
Your task now is to survive in this world and find out what happened. You play from a third-person perspective and explore the open world of The Day Before together with other players. PvP will also play a role, as you will have to fight for scarce resources such as fuel and food in this hopeless world.
The developers of Fntastic have now released a long gameplay trailer showcasing various aspects of the shooter.
This is shown in the trailer: The new trailer for The Day Before is 13 minutes long and shows a gameplay section as it could occur in the game:
After a brief introduction by a radio host who provides some insights into the world and story of The Day Before, the scene switches to two cars following a forest road. In the bottom right, there is a display for gasoline that is steadily decreasing.
The vast open world exhibits the typical post-apocalyptic feeling: desolate landscapes, broken vehicles, devastated settlements, and buildings. At the first stop, you also encounter the zombies, who typically rush towards the players and get shot.
They are the main enemies of the game and appear in groups during the exploration of the surroundings. Other gameplay elements observable in the trailer include:
- Looting resources and food, as is typical for a survival game
- Repairing vehicles
- Crafting and traps
- The equipment and inventory system
The trailer ends with players hiding in a bunker in front of a police car and discovering a tunnel system.
This is what the comments say: In the comments under the YouTube video, there are now almost 6,000 comments, all mixed. Users show general interest in the game and want to keep an eye on it for now, while others warn that people should not get hyped:
Keep your expectations low, boy, and you will never be disappointed […].

However, some others made fun of the fact that the game looks like a generic zombie shooter. The user Elibbb1111 referred to The Day Before as “The Last of Us: The Days Gone before The Division” and indeed, the game shows some similarities to The Division. His comment received over 4,000 upvotes and other users commented with their own creations made up of the names of well-known post-apocalyptic zombie games in third-person perspective.
Despite the ridicule, the trailer seems to be well received by users. It has been viewed almost a million times and has 22,000 upvotes and only 858 downvotes (as of: April 10, 2021, 4:00 PM).
When will The Day Before be released? There is still no specific release date for the game, but it is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2021 on Steam.
