All important info about The Day Before

Release: When will The Day Before be released?

The Day Before is scheduled for release on 10 November 2023. The MMO has already had two postponements, one due to the change to Unreal Engine 5.

But it is questionable if and when The Day Before will actually be released. Actually, the release is coming soon, but the game cannot be pre-ordered at the moment. And we haven’t heard anything about the beta version that was announced either.

 The Day Before will be released soon.

In addition, there was a legal dispute about the name of the MMO, which is why even the title of the game might change.

Until now, it is not entirely clear whether the game actually exists or can be released on the planned date.


Price: How much does The Day Before cost?

At the moment it is not yet known how much The Day Before will cost. It is therefore not yet possible to pre-order the game – especially since it is no longer available on Steam.


Platforms: On what will The Day Before be released?

  • PC
  • PS5
  • Xopx Series X

The zombie game was originally announced for the PC However, versions for the PS5 and Xbox Series X have since been confirmed


Controversy: Why is The Day Before in the debate

Why scepticism is warranted: The Day Before got a lot of attention with its first trailers – because the graphics seemed too good to be true.

Story: What is The Day Before about?

The Day Before relies on the good old zombie post-apocalypse. The USA has been hit by a pandemic that has turned numerous people into zombies ready for violence and we are right in the middle of it.

As a survivor, we travel the open world and have only one goal at first: not to be eaten or shot by other survivors. To do this, we go in search of safe colonies to catch our breath and ally with others. However, according to the game’s description, we are also supposed to help in the restoration of society 


Gameplay: How does The Day Before play?

How exactly The Day Before will play is still not entirely clear. There have already been longer gameplay trailers, but they raised more questions than answers. What we do know:

  • Survival: First of all, we fight against the zombie hordes, which according to the developers should function as “realistically” as possible. So don’t be inhumanly fast or spray fountains of poison. We need warm clothing, food, crafting materials and ammunition – in addition, serious injuries could be our undoing.
  • PVP: But besides the zombies, the humans are also fighting each other, because resources are scarce. So the MMO should offer a strong PVP focus.
  • Weather System: Dynamic weather is also supposed to play a major role. Our clothing must protect us from approaching cold and storms and thunderstorms can make survival hell.
  • Open World: The open world is supposed to be more varied than, for example, the very similar The Division. We explore forests, mountains, settlements and rural areas next to the abandoned city. Various vehicles will also be available to us for this purpose.

System requirements: What must your PC be able to do?

The system requirements for The Day Before are quite moderate. In any case, these were communicated in July 2022, but it is unclear whether anything will change before the release date.

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 or AMD FX-6300
