In a "shocking" turn of events, the studio Fntastic, developer of the highly anticipated survival game The Day Before, announced its closure on December 11, 2023, just days after the game's launch on Steam. This sudden decision left players and industry observers stunned, as The Day Before had generated considerable buzz and was expected to be a major hit.
The announcement came amidst ongoing criticism of The Day Before, which had been accused of misleading marketing and gameplay that didn't live up to its promises. These concerns raised questions about the studio's financial stability and the game's future.
In a statement, Fntastic attributed the closure to "financial difficulties" and claimed that "The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue." The studio also stated that it would be using all of its remaining funds to pay off debts to its partners and that the servers for both The Day Before and its other game, Propnight, would remain operational for now.
The closure of Fntastic and The Day Before's abrupt shutdown serve as a cautionary tale for both developers and consumers in the gaming industry. It highlights the importance of transparency and honest communication between developers and players, as well as the potential consequences of overpromising and underdelivering.
While The Day Before's fate remains uncertain, the events surrounding its development and closure serve as a reminder of the delicate balance between hype and reality in the gaming world.
