The Saga of The Day Before

[Patrick]

So who's been keeping up with the drama? Last of Us meets The Division.


The idea of a high end zombie MMO is highly appealing, and interest was quickly established across online communities when this game was announced. This may have been one of the earliest (not sure if it was the first) trailers for it, a year ago:





Here's the new trailer from 3 weeks ago:



So, who thinks this game is really going to come out? Rumors are spreading that the entire thing is fake. I know Steam has removed it from their shop for the time being. Anyone have any opinions on this?

Announced two years ago, which looked too good to be true at the time. Only have a few random trailers. Zero gameplay. It's always seemed way too ambitious to be real. Hell, most anything you see from it is just stolen pictures/clips from The Division.

And LOL at the newest delay. Trademark issue? You're having trademark issues over a game that was announced two years ago? They used this hype to gain attention for their other games and projects. Just one big marketing scam

FAKE

Never heard of this game before this thread. Videos look good, seems like it could be good fun, shame its big time fake.

Reminds me of that game about being stuck somewhere after a mega earthquake that floated around for years and eventually was barfed out for like 20 dollary doos. Maybe this the same

Currently stuck in a legal battle over the trademark of the name of the game. Someone apparently trademarked "The Day Before" and said person is going after the developers over the game name.

With that said, the name makes NO sense. If it's the day before, everything would be normal with no zombies. It should be titled "The Day After".

Patrick makes a fine point

POOR TRANSLATION?

Update as of today:

It looks like the developer has decided to rename the game, in order to bypass the trademark dispute.

The new name is going to be "Dayworld" as of now, unless that too gives issues (there is a book series with the same name).

Release date still officially November 10!

DAYWORLD, AHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FIGHTER OF THE NIGHTWORLD AHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hey if it comes out on November 10 2023 it'll be the 20 year anniversary of this rendition of the GH Forums!
