Delays have been a constant presence in the video game industry for the last 2 years now. Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, developers have found it even more troublesome to get consistent work done on an even timetable. This has spelled trouble for many studios in the past with poor management. Most evidently, the poor crunch period for Cyberpunk 2077 brought much-needed attention to the practice that so many video game publishers rely upon. While some studios refuse to crunch and have maintained a stance of releasing a game when it is finished, many have to face harsh realities. Such is the case with the upcoming MMO survival game, The Day Before. Announced in January 2021, the title piqued the interest of many survival game enthusiasts who enjoy the shared world aspect. The title has received plenty of praise and attention for its progress. IGN announced the news of The Day Before facing a 10-month delay while they switched development to Unreal Engine 5.
What Is The New Release Date For The Day Before After The Delay

The scope and scale of Unreal Engine 5 can genuinely make The Day Before into a unique game. A scavenging experience, unlike other survival games in the past, is attention-grabbing. While the studio is undergoing a massive delay, the upgrades might just end up being worth it. The new release date is set for March 1st, 2023, which is almost a 10-month delay from today. The massive undertaking in this development period is. However, it should eventually help smooth out the finer development points. Explaining their duty to deliver, developer FNTASTIC wants to create an experience that is worth waiting for.
