The Day Before, which recently released a new gameplay video and release date as part of the CES 2023 event, has been delayed for the third time. The reason for the postponement of the open world MMO game is very interesting this time. The game, which was postponed to November 10, was also removed from the Steam platform. Here are the details of the news…
The Day Before release date has been delayed!
Making a statement on Twitter, game developer Fntastic delayed the game for 8 months, claiming that The Day Before name rights were taken before them. The game, which is expected to be released on March 1, 2023 under normal conditions, will be released on November 10, 2023. Fntastic, which did not buy the naming rights before the game was announced, announced that the naming rights were purchased by someone else after the announcement and that they were aware of this recently.
While the players did not find it realistic to delay the game for about 8 months with such an excuse, the new owner of the naming rights demanded that the game be removed from Steam. Prior to this event, the most wishlisted production on Steam no longer has a Steam page. In addition, the developer team used the following statements about The Day Before release date:
“Dear fans, just before our game was released, Steam blocked The Day Before from our game page at the request of a private person because of its name. As you know, our game was announced in January 2021. At the time of the announcement, The Day Before game brand right was available. After the game’s announcement, the aforementioned person filled out an application form before us to register The Day Before game trademark in the United States.
We understand that this may disappoint many of our fans, but we want to make sure we put out the best game possible. We are 100 percent focused on the game itself and how to give you the best game possible.”

The expression “We try to offer the best possible game” in these statements left a question mark for the players. The thoughts are that The Day Before release date was delayed because of technical issues, not naming rights. In addition, the company stated that they will release a new gameplay video this month, but they should postpone it after this event.
