The Day Before developer Fntastic has insisted the game's Steam page, which was removed in January over a trademark dispute, will be back online soon.
Speaking to Well Played, Fntastic claimed it was "the first to start using this name related to the video game" and said it's "optimistic about regaining our name through legal proceedings as swiftly as possible".
Though it didn't give a timeline for this, despite The Day Before set to launch in just five months on November 10, Fntastic said the "Steam page will be reinstated soon".
The Day Before was removed from Steam after the developers of a 2010 countdown app of the same name found out about the video game. Fntastic postponed The Day Before's release date as a result of the dispute but later admitted to IGN it had planned a delay regardless.
New gameplay details were also shared during the interview, with Fntastic revealing players will be able to take on in-game jobs in The Day Before.
"These in-game jobs range across various professions — from manual labour as a loader to showcasing artistic talent as a musician," it said. "These jobs will add another layer of realism and immersion to the game."
A 30-second gameplay video released alongside the interview showed a player driving a Lamborghini-style car through the abandoned city.
The Day Before has had a long and complex development process with two delays so far, but Fntastic has promised November 10 will absolutely be its final release date. A beta is set to take place between now and launch.
