Polish developer 11 Bit Studios has dropped a new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi adventure The Alters, now nearing its launch. In this preview, the team reflects on their groundbreaking 2014 survival game This War of Mine that catapulted them to international acclaim.
From War-Torn Streets to Cosmic Survival
While This War of Mine immersed players in grim civilian survival during wartime, The Alters adopts a more dynamic tone - blending humor with high-stakes drama as players guide alternate versions of protagonist Jan Dolski. Despite these contrasting atmospheres, the developers highlight deep thematic connections between both narratives.
The newest trailer showcases how both titles fundamentally explore human resilience under extreme pressure:
- This War of Mine: Civilian survival in bombed-out urban warfare
- The Alters: Race against a lethal sun while managing a mobile base
Players push limits in both survival scenarios - whether scavenging war-torn ruins or desperately relocating a planetary base ahead of solar destruction.
Evolution of 11 Bit's Signature Gameplay
The key innovation in The Alters lies in its protagonist system. Where This War of Mine featured randomly generated civilian groups, the new game centers on "alters" - divergent versions of the same character shaped by different life choices.
11 Bit confirms The Alters will launch worldwide in 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game launches immediately on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass - making it instantly accessible to millions of subscribers.
