Developer Fntastic has announced The Day Before will not be releasing as expected on 1st March.

The reason for this fairly sizable delay? The developer claims it did not trademark the game's name and now someone else has done so instead.

"Right before the release, Steam blocked our game page at the request of a private individual, because of the name The Day Before. "After the announcement of the game, the above mentioned individual filled out an application before us to register the game trademark The Day Before in the United States." The developer then shared a link to said trademark, for reasons.

"Now we find out all the circumstances of the incident and we will definitely solve everything. We previously planned to post a lengthy gameplay video later this month, but we'll have to sort this issue out first. We will post a video asap," the developer continued, before announcing The Day Before's new launch date of 10th November.
