The Day Before dev insists zombie MMO is not a scam following latest delay - Eurogamer.net

Developer Fntastic has rebuffed suggestions from increasingly vocal detractors that The Day Before - its now twice-delayed and seldom seen open-world zombie survival MMO - is a scam, saying, "When the game comes out, people will finally see the truth."

The Day Before was revealed back in 2021, with a striking trailer that helped propel it to the top of Steam's most wishlisted games chart.

Fntastic has now pushed back against those suggestions, telling IGN, "Time will put everything in its place [and] when the game comes out, people will finally see the truth."

The studio also questioned how The Day Before could even be considered a scam, noting, "We didn't take a penny from people: no crowdfunding, no pre-orders, no donations.

As for the strange circumstances surroundings its most recent delay to November, Fntastic said it was originally intending to announce a revised release date even before this week's news of a trademark dispute.

Despite ongoing skepticism around The Day Before's development status, Fntastic says it's "very confident that this issue will be resolved since we have strong legal partners.
