The Day Before gameplay details

The Day Before is an MMO survival game with a sprawling open world that’s set in the present-day US East Coast. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting after a deadly pandemic, where players will customize their character and set them off in the world to survive amongst other online players and the dangerous infected.

Players will be searching the world for supplies, building materials, and more to help rebuild the community. Bring as much valuable loot back to home base as possible and you’ll be rewarded.

Weapons are modern and realistic, as players will be fighting off enemies with a variety of guns, as well as escaping and traveling the East Coast with vehicles.
