The last we heard of zombie-survival MMORPG “The Day Before” was about seven months ago when its official gameplay video was taken down due to a trademark dispute. While we haven’t heard anything about the game since, it seems it could be getting a title change to “Dayworld.”

A newly formed company by Mytona and developer Fntastic has filed a trademark at the USPTO for the title “Dayworld,” which suggests this is the new title of the game (via Well-Played):

If you didn’t know, the title “The Day Before” has been one of the many issues the in-development game has faced since it was announced, which means that this title change is probably needed lest Fntastic wants to wait it out in court before deciding to release their game. 

Interestingly enough, the name “Dayworld” is the title of a trilogy of books written by American author Philip José Farmer, which was first published in 1985. So even if this is indeed The Day Before’s new title, it could very well run into issues once again.

While I’m sure nailing down the right title for a game is very important, I’d say the studio first needs to give people an update on the game after months of silence is needed first — especially since it’s supposedly set to ship out this November.

We’ve reached out to Fntastic regarding this potential name-change, and will update the article if we hear anything back.
