The Day Before was revealed in 2021, with an original launch date planned for the following year. The original teaser for the game quickly drew interest and comparisons to The Last of Us and The Division, in part because the game’s title treatment and artwork seemed to borrow heavily from those post-apocalyptic games. Some viewers of the game’s first trailer expressed skepticism that the game was real or would ultimately deliver on its promises — in part because Fntastic was a relatively unknown developer who had primarily worked on much simpler-looking indie games.

Some of those negative reviews are slamming The Day Before for bugs, crashes, poor performance, and multiplayer server issues, which isn’t uncommon for a newly launched PC game — especially one released in an early access state.

Last Thursday, the studio behind “post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival” game The Day Before launched the game that had become Steam’s most-wishlisted title based on a splashy reveal trailer. On Monday, the studio said it was shutting down and that no more updates will be released for The Day Before.

Developer Fntastic announced its closure on Twitter in a statement that read, “The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue. All income received is being used to pay off debts to our partners.”

Hours after announcing that highly anticipated zombie survival game The Day Before was a financial failure and that developer Fntastic was shutting down, the controversial game has been pulled from sale on Steam. The Day Before launched last Thursday, just four days ago, on Valve’s storefront. Fntastic has also purged its YouTube channel of all videos of The Day Before, and CEO Eduard Gotovtsev has deleted his Twitter profile.

Fntastic and publisher Mytona had been selling the game for $39.99, even after announcing that no more updates would be released for The Day Before. It’s not clear which party involved pulled The Day Before from Steam. Polygon has reached out to Fntastic, Mytona, and Valve for clarification and will update this story when they respond. Polygon has also reached out directly to Gotovtsev via email.

I admit that I had never heard of this game before, but this whole situation is simply baffling. My dudes purged their entire history and accounts and have gone dark???
