If you’ve been itching for a new sci-fi adventure to sink your teeth into, 11 bit studios has got you covered. Straight outta Poland, the developer rolled out a fresh trailer for their upcoming title, The Alters. Forget the solo grind; in this game, you’re never truly alone. Why? Say hello to Jan—a worker bee with a unique twist.
Jan: One Face, Many Lives
In The Alters, you’re not just dealing with one version of Jan. Nah, you’ve got a whole team of Jans, each sprouting from alternate realities with distinct life experiences. The kicker? Fostering relationships between these Alters is the key to making it out alive. Talk about squad goals, am I right?
Choices Matter, Survival Matters More
Labeled as a base-building survival game, The Alters is all about making life-altering decisions—pun absolutely intended. Jan’s new home isn’t exactly a tropical paradise. Picture this: a barren planet, a looming sun, and climbing radiation levels. Time is of the essence, and Jan must use Rapidium crystals to spawn his Alters, each tailored with their own skills.
Diversify or Die: Skill Sets Make the Alters
Stationed in a mobile base, our various Jans aren’t just chilling. Depending on the choices made during the alteration process, each Jan specializes in different skill sets. Some might be your next Gordon Ramsay, cooking up grub, while others might excel at crafting exploration tools or mining essential resources. You want to survive? Then make sure each Jan pulls his weight.
More Than Just Altered Egos
Here’s the 411: these Alters aren’t emotionless drones. They come packed with feelings, aspirations, and even existential crises. Despite these complexities, they all share one objective: to escape the nightmarish scenario they’ve found themselves in.
Platform and Release Date
Get ready to deep-dive into this multi-layered adventure, as The Alters is set to launch on PC and current-gen consoles in 2024. Mark your calendars, folks!
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Windows
