The Alters
The expedition begins with The Alters as we are shown more of the mechanics in the mix of The Alters gameplay
With how much that it feels like there will be going on in The Alters, it is about time we start to dig into some of the things we will have to do. It is going to be one long expedition with ourselves out there and, thankfully, 11 Bit Studios is gearing up to give us some insight on what we will have to do in the game when it comes to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in a full form. There is still no solid date on when that will happen for The Alters, but at least now we can start to dig into all of the survival and hard choices we are going to need to make along the way. Choices that might also alter the way we get off the planet or who might be fully surviving this trip out of all of the Jans we will encounter.
So, here we have the first two developer breakdowns for The Alters and some of the gameplay elements we are going to have to perfect if we want to survive the ordeal. Survival being the first big thing with this being a survival game from the start that will then shift along the way. The way that will all shift is in the way that we will also have to prioritize each of the different Jan characters for the betterment of the whole settlement. Sometimes that does mean that one of them will be left out or behind and we will need to pivot and mitigate that choice in other ways. It does not sound like The Alters will go into a full sabotage mode at some point, but if we make too many choices the wrong way, I would not be surprised if we have an uprising of sorts that will put us all in some kind of danger. Have a look at all of this just a bit further down and see how the gameplay will flow after all of those demos.

How much longer are we going to have to wait for The Alters to launch out there and will the wait be fully worth it?
