What is the day before?

How does The Day Before play?

Concrete statements about the gameplay can not yet meet. It does not seem like anyone was allowed to play the thing already. So we are completely dependent on interview statements of developers and impressions from the trailers. But at least a rough picture of what could expect to release:

Survival: As the genre demands, The Day Before includes various survival elements. For example, you must pay attention to the body temperature as well as the water and energy balance of your character. Other status effects such as fatigue or poisoning are conceivable. The developers want to finally want the survival process as "interesting and fun," the own statement. The whole thing should not be too intrusive. So you do not have to die a cereal bar every two minutes so as not to scratch. Even the user interface wants to hold as subtle as possible.

Open World: In the setting, the makers of The Day Before once again decided to the USA. Unlike In The Division, however, there is not only urban, but also rural areas. They are crossed by isolated survivor camps in which you can interact with NPCs and other players. The Open World also waits with dynamic daytime and weather change. In addition, it is not only on foot, but also by vehicle to be inquired. Provided that you have the necessary gasoline.

Fights: In The Day Before you get it with both zombies as well as with human opponents. You can rely on a number of primary, secondary and melee weapons: assault rifles, shotguns, pistols and the like. They can be repaired and modified to workbands, for example with different, runs and shafts. Balled is then in third-person perspective, at least for zombies, it also seems to give proper splatter effects.

How well does The Day Before look like?

In terms of graphics, the Survival MMO sets the Power of the Unreal Engine 4. Thanks to NVIDIA cooperation, there is also raytracing and DLSS at least on the PC. Nonetheless, the Day Before saw here and there's a bit unrestrained here: animations were choppy, character models Detail arm, even in the trailer were scattered pop-ins.

When will The Day Before appear?

Originally, the release of The Day Before was already scheduled for the second quarter 2021. The appointment could not comply with the developers of FNTASTIC. Currently, June 21, 2022 is being targeted instead. Then the Survival MMO is to be released via Steam for the PC. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S | X are also in progress. However, there is no concrete date for the next-gen console version.

Is The Day Before a Scam?

In addition, the developers still have so many questions unanswered: Does the PVP only take place in closed areas? How big is the game world at all? There are no detailed information on the official website. The previously published trailers also look pretty placed, so are not really meaningful. At The Day Before, despite all hypes, remains quite caution. It is well possible that the survival dream at the end remains exactly that: a pure imagination that will never come true.
