Prepare for the most personal survival experience this year, one you won’t forget!

The Alters is a story-driven survival mash-up that's primed to pop on Game Pass

Ahead of my trip to 11 Bit Studios HQ in Warsaw, I did not expect to fall in love with its upcoming slate of games quite so quickly. While acutely aware of its hard-hitting works like Frostpunk, This War of Mine, and The Invinicible, I had little to no experience with its tried and tested formula of engaging gameplay loops interspersed with dark and desperate thematic hooks. The Alters has convinced me to pay the Polish developer-publisher much more mind.

The in-house efforts of 11 Bit Studios have produced a gorgeous and immediately engaging interstellar exploration game that's as much a management sim as a narrative space opera. With just a few weeks until release, The Alters is poised to become another fine example of the value of a Game Pass subscription to players and publishers alike.

Is The Alters on Game Pass?

Is The Alters coming to Game Pass? The Alters is an upcoming sci-fi game combining third-person exploration and strategic base building, all in a bid to survive as an astronaut stranded on a hostile planet.

There's not long to go until The Alters release date arrives and we're able to take on the many roles of Jan. Using a nifty cloning device, Jan is able to create versions of himself to aid in his perilous journey to escape the planet, versions that answer the all important, what if question. If this all sounds right up your street, here's whether you'll be able to play The Alters on Game Pass.

Hello Everyone,

As we get closer to the launch of The Alters (less than a month away!), we’d like to share some exciting updates about the game.

First of all, we’re thrilled to announce that over 270,000 people have played the demo version! We’re incredibly happy with the positive feedback we've received so far, the hype is real, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.

This weekend is your last chance to play the demo, as it will no longer be available to download starting May 18th. We can't wait to hear your thoughts after the full release, we've made significant improvements in every aspect of the game since the first demo!

To make things even more fun, this week we launched an AI app that lets you become Jan Dolski! Just upload a selfie and you'll see yourself as a part of Jan's crew. Check it out here:

And that's not all! This week we hosted another edition of our Hands-On event, which was focused on The Alters. People from around the world had a chance to play the game, and their positive feedback has given us even more power in our Quantum Computer to deliver a polished product at launch.

In the upcoming days you will find for sure their impressions in the Social Media!

In the meantime, here you can find some pics from the event:

Stay tuned for the future updates!

The Alters - Expedition Log 4

Hi everyone!

As we are participating in Gamescom Latam in Brazil this year, we thought that's a perfect opportunity to tease another episode of the Expedition Logs!

Check out new episode on YouTube titled: "You probably won’t make it…"

[h3]Resources, scanning the surface and extraction[/h3]
Expanding and running a mobile base in The Alters will not be possible without extracting the planet's rich resources. Metals, minerals, organics, and - most importantly - Rapidium, are vital materials you will encounter while scanning the planet’s surface. Yet finding them will be a tricky task, as you will often find their surroundings riddled with dangers.

[h3]Anomalies[/h3]
Anomalies are lethal obstacles that pose various threats to our protagonist. They vary both in terms of looks and risks exposure to them entails. Some of them can be seen from afar while others will require an anomaly detector or a special tool to unveil. Anomalies can pose a serious danger to the mission as they can kill our Jan Dolski through radiation, as well as distort time and space around him. Luckily, we’re not helpless against them, as in time we’ll be able to create tools to counter their threat.

[h3]Biomes and collectibles[/h3]
Multiplying types and threats of anomalies was one of the key features we worked very hard to improve during the last few months of The Alters’ development. The other one was the planet’s exploration, as we want to make biomes present in the game as interesting and filled with secrets as possible.

Stay tuned for another episodes of expedition logs!
