"The Day Before: A Disastrous Early Access Launch Ends in Studio Shutdown"

Developer Fntastic has abruptly closed down after releasing their game, The Day Before, on Steam's Early Access program. The studio cited immediate financial failure and debts owed to partners as the reason for closure. The promised PS5 version of the game is now unlikely to be released. The company's CEO, Eduard Gotovtsev, has also disappeared from the online space. Fans and developers have mocked the situation, with the social teams behind DayZ and Rust joining in.
