One of Steam’s most wishlisted games of the past few years, The Day Before, is finally due for release next week. The Day Before has been in development since at least 2021, but considering the content of its announcement that year, it’s probably been in the works much longer. That very first trailer was significant enough to garner tons of hype, winning The Day Before a spot on many a prospective player’s wishlist.
But development problems, unexpected changes, and a variety of other issues kept The Day Before off shelves for way longer than was originally intended. However, now almost three full years later, it finally has a concrete release date, and it’s only a few days away. Here’s a look at what the game is, why it’s so popular, and what happened to keep it in development for so long.

According to Steam’s Top Wishlists page, The Day Before was the most wishlisted game in summer 2022, but has since fallen to number two at the time of writing. The Top Wishlists page makes a good, crowdsourced temperature gauge for the level of hype around a game; other titles in the top five include the long-awaited indie games Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades 2. Since Steam is the most well-established online storefront for PC games, it could be said that The Day Before was one of the most anticipated PC games of 2022.
The Day Before was scheduled to come out on June 21, 2022, but just a month before, it was abruptly delayed until March 2023. It began to tumble down the Top Wishlists rankings a bit later, but still sits in that number two spot, behind only the upcoming free-to-play FPS The Finals. Of course, that wasn’t the end of its troubles; it’s now the end of 2023, and The Day Before still isn’t out. So what exactly is it, and what happened?
