Polish developer 11 Bit Studios has released a new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, The Alters, highlighting its connection to their critically acclaimed war survival game, This War of Mine. While This War of Mine is renowned for its grim depiction of wartime survival, The Alters offers a more vibrant, humorous narrative focusing on the struggles of alternate versions of protagonist Jan Dolski. Despite their contrasting tones, both games share a core thematic link: survival.
In This War of Mine, players grapple with the harsh realities of war, meticulously managing resources and enduring daily hardships to keep their civilian group alive within a besieged city. The Alters, however, presents survival as a frantic race against a relentless, dust-inducing sun, demanding constant relocation of a mobile base.
Both games challenge players to confront hostile environments and scavenge for limited resources. The key distinction lies in the playable characters: This War of Mine features a group of randomly generated civilians, while The Alters centers around a unique team of Jan Dolski's alternate selves.
The Alters is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass at launch.
