Zombie fever continues to take hold of the shoot ’em up genre with developer FNTASTIC’s latest survival horror project, so you may want to know: Is The Day Before multiplayer? Navigating a post-apocalyptic metropolis infested with hordes of brain-eaters is always easier when a few friends back you up, so we’ll be taking a look at the game’s co-op support here to give you an idea of what to expect.
Now that The Day Before PC release date has graced the community with its presence, there’s never been a better time to know more about its multiplayer functionality so you can be prepared ahead of time. That said, here’s what we know about The Day Before’s co-op support.
Is The Day Before multiplayer?
Yes, The Day Before is multiplayer since it was specifically designed as a massively multiplayer survival horror game. It also offers both a PvP and PvE experience, which means other players will similarly be able to squad up. Once you drop into its post-apocalyptic world, you can party up with three other people. Afterward, the game will task you with surviving against raging armies of infected and fending off equally desperate survivors hellbent on taking the resources and loot you’ve collected.
Much like other cooperative survival games, like Rust and Don’t Starve Together, communication is critical. So, joining up with some of your closest friends is ideal in The Day Before’s dog-eat-dog world. Of course, if you prefer going at it yourself, you can also explore the game’s undead-infested world on your lonesome. However, you’ll undoubtedly have more difficulty facing off against both coordinated squads and lumbering, difficult-to-take-down zombies.
You’ll also need to be aware of the consoles your friends are playing on ahead of time because The Day Before crossplay functionality might not work for everyone. Alternatively, if you’ve already got a squad raring to go on the same gaming platforms, take a look at when The Day Before early access period begins instead.
