Exclusive: The Day Before Undergoes Exciting Name Change - Insider Reveals!

Highlights

The upcoming game known as The Day Before may change its name to Dayworld, as indicated by a recent trademark filing by developer Mytona Fntastic.

The game has faced numerous controversies, including trademark disputes and a lack of transparency.

The game's release is anticipated on November 10, 2023.

The content fragment might suggest a possible name change for The Day Before to Dayworld, based on a trademark filed by Mytona Fntastic. However, this is not the first controversy surrounding the game. Initially announced in 2021, The Day Before is set in a post-pandemic United States infested with zombies. It gained significant attention and became the most wishlisted game on Steam, but its page was suddenly removed, leading to years of delays. The game's development has been fraught with trademark disputes over its title, as well as a lack of transparency with the public. Additionally, YouTube has taken down recent gameplay trailers for The Day Before.

As reported on Well Played, there are indications that The Day Before might undergo a name change. Recently, the developers filed a new trademark on August 3rd under the name Dayworld, and it appears to be related to video games. Mytona Fntastic is currently involved in a legal dispute regarding the trademark for The Day Before, which is also claimed by an individual named Sun Jae Lee. Although the court case has been temporarily halted since August 9th, it seems likely that this new trademark was filed as a precautionary measure in case the developers lose the dispute. This way, the game can continue to progress without being further delayed.

However, Mytona Fntastic maintains that the original trademark belongs to them, as it has been used in other mediums except video games. Interestingly, the Dayworld title faces a similar situation. It is also associated with a series of non-trademarked books owned by Penguin Group, which could potentially lead to a dispute in the future, causing further delays for the game.

Due to these delays and disputes, as well as concerns regarding the quality of the released trailers and footage, The Day Before has become embroiled in multiple controversies. It is crucial for Mytona Fntastic to overcome this new obstacle if they wish to release The Day Before on the promised date and ensure that fans can finally experience the game.

The Day Before is set to launch for PC on November 10, 2023 with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
