Action-management clone 'em up The Alters has been delayed into 2025

Edwin and I have a sort of running 'joke', in that whenever we've got him down to review something, the game gets delayed. Sometimes, it gets delayed multiple times. We've taken to calling it "The Curse", such is its power to utterly obliterate video game development, by virtue of it being a phantom that floats into PC vents and fries motherboards. I think the curse has evolved then, as we hadn't even discussed 11 bit's upcoming third-person management adventure The Alters… but Edwin had played it at this year's Geoffcom. And yes, it has been delayed.

One of the most interesting new games to be shown off this year is The Alters. After carving out a niche for itself making grim, narrative-focused strategy games with This War of Mine, Frostpunk, and the recent Frostpunk 2, the team at 11 Bit Studios could have continued working solely within this subgenre. Instead, it's decided to branch out with The Alters, a pleasantly strange take on a survival game set in space. Unfortunately, it'll be a while longer before we get to check the result of this decision out for ourselves, as news has just arrived that the game has been delayed from its original launch window.

The Alters - Q1 2025

Dear Mr. Dolski,

We regret to inform you that, after thorough review, your upcoming mission in search of Rapidium has been postponed from REDACTED to Q1 2025.

While we understand this delay may not be the news you were expecting, rest assured that we are using this extended time to optimize all mission-critical systems and ensure that every aspect of your journey is as seamless as possible.

We would also like to recognize that Project Dolly, based on its initial Demo phase, has already exceeded expectations and the preliminary results demonstrated a high potential for a successful mission. However, at Ally Corp, “good” is never enough. This additional time will allow us to polish each phase of the project, delivering results that surpass our prior projections—an outcome that benefits both Ally Corp and, naturally, yourself.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing commitment to Ally Corp’s mission. Your contribution to Project Dolly remains invaluable, and we look forward to your successful deployment in the near future. 🐑

Best regards,

Ally Corp Communications
“Always your Ally”
