Alters
The release date for The Alters is finally set and we will be able to experience in full all of the different ways this Alters live
The days are coming to a close in terms of us needing to wait to get to experience all that The Alters has to offer up to the world. Not just because 11 Bit Studios is just working non-stop on the game, but that we have finally hit a point where there is a solid release date for us to spy on for the game. I hope you have had fun with all of those demos and trials out there, as The Alters will be hitting the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 13th. Okay, there is a little more time to experience the samples and videos we have for the game thus far, but now we know when the full version of the game will be here for us all to experience and be "All By Myselves" with when we load it up.
Now that we have the release date for The Alters, we can have a look at a bit more of the story and how some of the game is going to play out. We have a look at three of the specific Jans we will have to work with in the game. All with their own specific skills and personality traits out there that can make things vastly harder if we try to be practical and not sympathetic to everyone's needs. It is an interesting mix here where one of the Jans will cut off their own arm and another is just in love with another's wife. All of the drama out there to make it harder to make it through even three days in The Alters. Have a look and see how that is all going to go down just a bit lower. It is going to be a wild ride, for sure.
The Alters — Release Date
What if survival meant facing the versions of yourself you never became? The version of you who chose family over going to college? The version of you who chased down your high school sweetheart and made her your wife or the version of you who lost her? In The Alters, the upcoming sci-fi game from 11 bit studios (makers of This War Of Mine and Frostpunk), where survival has never been so personal, the path to salvation begins with a question as old as humanity: What if I had chosen differently?
11 Bit Studios has announced that The Alters will launch on June 13, 2025, arriving on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and day one on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Stranded on a hostile planet and racing against a deadly sunrise, Jan Dolski’s only chance of survival is to create “alters” — alternate versions of himself shaped by roads not taken. Each Jan comes with unique skills, personalities, and memories tied to a different life choice. But they also come with conflict, doubt, and emotional baggage.
Managing the mission means managing yourself — literally. Players must maintain a mobile base, make time-critical decisions, build relationships with their Alters, and confront the consequences of their own past lives.
And as a new element the trailer leans into, The Alters reveals the hardships of exploring the planet’s unique biomes, where deadly anomalies stand in your way. Levitating rocks and eerie distortions of reality catch your attention immediately, while other singularities remain invisible to the naked eye and require special tools to uncover. In every case, without a careful approach, you risk instant death, radiation-induced injuries, or even the disintegration of time and space itself. And you may want to avoid exploring at night, as the heightened radioactivity can eat right through your suit. These dangers add yet another layer to the survival experience, turning every expedition into a high-stakes puzzle.
Blending survival, base-building, exploration, and emotional storytelling, The Alters is a deeply personal sci-fi experience where every decision matters—and every version of you has something to say about it.
Are you glad to see that we have a final date for The Alters and were you expecting this closer after everything? Will all of the Jans be so dramatic as these ones or will these be some of the more extreme versions we will encounter? Will we be able to tap into the other life paths as needed or will it always be the lead to our demise once we pull them out of it all? Leave all of those thoughts down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all. We will share everything else we come across for The Alters, so please keep on checking in here for all of that and everything else. It is going to be an insane ride out there and you will not want to miss out on a single update that the Jans will offer up to us all.
