The Day Beforehas gone down as a monumental disaster, unable to match the likes ofDayZ. Speaking ofDayZ, the Soviet-inspired, zombie apocalypse game continues to be a shining beacon in the genre, with the developer acknowledging its success.
In a recent post on Twitter/X, Bohemia Interactive posted a statement that looks back at the history ofDayZsince its journey began in 2013. The statement talks about the “boundless efforts, resources, and man-hours” that have been poured into the game and how, ten years later, it remains “undefeated.”

However, one thing that stands out is how similar the post is to the oneFntasticuploaded recently regardingThe Day Before. Both statements have a similar vibe, but withDayZ‘s ending with the words “dead game” being crossed out, is this Bohemia throwing shade?
Kicking them when they’re down
Some commenting have made it clear they think theDayZpost is “savage” and “brutal,” suggesting that this may have been a deliberate dig atThe Day Before. Most, however, seem to be getting a kick out of the joke aimed at a now-dead studio.
Regardless of intent,DayZremains one of the best open-world post-apocalyptic survival games on the current market. It raises the question of whether we’ll see an uptick now that Fntastic has closed its doors for good.
SteamDBshows thatDayZexperienced an all-time player peak just last month. And with 51,459 people playing in the last 24 hours, we might see Bohemia Interactive’s game pick up some of thatDay Beforeslack.
