Developer Fntastic started off 2021 by pulling the curtain back on an ambitious new MMO called The Day Before, which has been described as The Division meets The Last of Us. Hype for The Day Before has been pretty high, as it offers a unique MMO concept in a genre dominated by high fantasy games. Since its announcement, The Day Before was only ever confirmed to be in development for PC, but now the developers have revealed that the game is also coming to next-generation consoles.
Alongside some new Day Before gameplay footage, Fntastic confirmed that the game is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in addition to the previously revealed PC version. It was also confirmed in the same video that The Day Before PC release date is June 21, 2022, though it's unclear exactly when the zombie MMO will be making its way to the PS5 and Xbox Series X. So while the game is no longer a PC exclusive, PC gamers still get first dibs.
The Day Before reveal trailer generated quite a bit of buzz, and so it naturally led to the developers being asked about a possible console version. Fntastic said months ago that a Day Before console version was being considered, but the developer never committed to making one until now. More details on what exactly the console versions of the game will entail should come to light in the months ahead, and it will definitely be interesting to see exactly how long those on PS5 and Xbox have to wait to get their hands on it.
So far, news updates on The Day Before have been relatively slow. Before the new gameplay footage was released, not much was shown of The Day Before since April, at which point a different gameplay trailer was dropped. A month before that, the developers released some footage focusing on The Day Before's vehicles and off-road driving, which is something else that should help it stand apart compared to other MMOs.
The Day Before console version wasn't the only thing announced by Fntastic recently. An asymmetric multiplayer horror game called Propnight was also revealed. Propnight's proper release date is coming next month, but the game is currently available to play in beta. For those wondering what it's like, it seems to be a marriage of gameplay concepts found in Dead by Daylight and Prop Hunt, which could make for an interesting combination, to say the least.
The Day Before launches June 21, 2022 for PC with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
