This came out of almost nowhere. Fntastic, the makers of the top-down co-op survival game The Wild Eight, is making a new open-world survival MMO called The Day Before.
The Day Before has you exploring “a deadly, post-pandemic America overrun by flesh-hungry infected.” Yes, another zombie apocalypse game.
The surprising bit is the promising looking gameplay that just been shown. The 13-minute trailer see you driving in a jeep while traversing through mud and rough terrain, and then switches to a third-person shooter as you blow zombies off. There’s also the need to scavenge for resources, and then repair a flat tyre as well.
IGN describes it as “a cross between The Last Of Us and The Division”. And for a vertical slice, this looks like a promising big-budget video game.
We’ll have to wait and see more about The Day Before before we can be really excited about it. But Fntastic really stepped up with this new title they are working on.
The Day Before is set for a 2021 release on PC (Steam).
