The Alters is an upcoming game from developer 11 Bit Studios, set to be a sci-fi survival game. The game is going to have some twists, and now it has a release window. The narrative-driven survival game will be released in 2025.
11 Bit Studios is the developer behind the critically acclaimed Frostpunk and This War of Mine. The Alter will let the player control the character of Jan Dolski, who is the survivor of a lost expedition on a faraway planet that is full of danger. The game focuses more on the dangers from within, and less on resources and building.
There is a strange artifact called Rapidium in the game, which enables Jan Dolski to create different versions of himself called The Alters, hence the name. Each one of the altars is based on a different decision that players have taken in the past. The Alters you make are not just simple copies but bring emotional elements, personalities, and unique skills along with them. Keeping the needs of your Alters balanced while surviving, harsh climates, making hard choices, and surviving deadly anomalies makes up the loop of the game.
There will be alternative narratives that will result in some strange outcomes. The challenge that such narratives offer will have an impact on the consequences and destiny. The more clones there are, the more the challenges, such as relationships and base management. There will be some hard choices to make between ease of survival and the main objective.
The Experience
Regardless of which part of the experience you like, one thing is certain: this will be a unique experience.
The Alters game is set to launch on June 13, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. It will be available day one on Game Pass.
