The Day Before looks like a mix of Fortnite, The Division, and The Last of Us

The Day Before has been a rollercoaster since its first announcement, with so many ups and downs that the gaming community wonders if it is a real game. Despite announcing a lengthy delay, developer Fntastic has revealed a gameplay trailer.

Fntastic's latest trailer showcases roughly 10 minutes of gameplay for The Day Before. Through this, players get a look at some of the environments, character models, weapons, zombies, and crafting. From the trailer, we assume The Day Before draws inspiration from shooters like Fortnite and The Division, as well as the fungi-based zombie series The Last of Us.

Reactions to the gameplay trailer seem to fall between disappointed, surprised, and outright skeptical of the game's chances of launching. Those looking to poke fun at the game point out that most of the gameplay seen in the trailer is simply walking through a cityscape lacking zombies—an interesting choice in a zombie survival MMO. What seemed to stand out most to viewers was the female character's resemblance to Lara Craft from the Tomb Raider series and Ellie from The Last of Us.

If nothing else, following The Day Before is a wild ride as Fntastic waver between delaying the game and showing it off. Only time will tell if this ambitious open-world zombie survival MMO will disprove gamers' suspicions. In the meantime, watch the gameplay trailer to see The Day Before for yourself.
