11 bit studios has released the first gameplay trailer for The Alters, and also announced that it will be available through Xbox Game Pass at launch. The game is scheduled to be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Microsoft Store in 2024. Here are all the details.
Game summary:
The Alters gameplay trailer shows the first look at Jan Dolski’s quest to escape a dangerous planet as he searches for the answer to the most frequently asked question in human history: what if? Inspired by the acclaimed title This War of Mine, The Alters immerses players in an intense battle for survival that Jan cannot conquer alone.
After crash-landing on a desolate planet with a scorching star, Jan must avoid the murderous conditions by taking shelter in an advanced mobile base. The only problem? It’s supposed to be operated by an expert team and he’s just Jan. Fortunately, fate takes a turn with the discovery of Rapidium, a mysterious substance unique to this dangerous world. By interacting with the Quantum Computer aboard the mobile base, Jan is able to manipulate crucial decisions from his past, creating alternate versions of himself known as Alters, who have the potential to change everything.
Alters are indispensable allies and possess diverse skill sets crucial for base repair, sustaining life, creating essential tools, and extracting precious resources. However, they are also more than just robots, each operating as a sentient being, complete with unique emotions, goals, and even a hint of existential doubt. Although this potentially opens the door to chaos, their collective goal remains the same: survive, escape, and do it all themselves.
With its intriguing premise and its inclusion in Xbox Game Pass, The Alters promises to deliver an exciting and unique gaming experience that will challenge players to explore the ramifications of their decisions as they fight for survival in a hostile and unknown world.
