The Alters confirms 2025 release, demo out now

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for narrative-driven experiences that delve deep into the human psyche, I find myself utterly captivated by the upcoming release of “The Alters” by 11 Bit Studios. The concept of creating alternate versions of oneself based on pivotal decisions from one’s past is not only intriguing but also resonates with my own life experiences.

11-Bit Studios has revealed that they will be releasing The Alters soon, with a playable demo available immediately on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.

Initially set for release in 2024, the game has now been postponed to 2025. Notably, while the earlier demo was exclusive to PC via Steam, this time around there will also be a demo available on consoles.

Here’s the new trailer:

Following an emergency landing on a hostile planet under scorching heat, Jan finds himself in a situation where he needs to live off a state-of-the-art mobile station meant for a team he doesn’t possess. His fortunes shift when he unearths Rapidium, a valuable resource that can be combined with the Quantum Computer to generate Mirrors—duplicates of him, stemming from alterations in his past crucial choices.
The Alters aren’t merely workers; instead, each one is an individual with unique abilities, feelings, and aspirations. They are vital for maintaining the base, creating tools, and gathering resources, but their diverse personalities can lead to conflicts. Despite their varying traits, they all share a unifying purpose: to survive, break free, and depend solely on themselves.
The game delves into the enduring query: “What if I’d made another choice?” This fundamental idea propels a highly individualized and contemplative storyline, as players journey through Jan’s fight for existence.

Here’s the key features from the Steam page:

Take the role of Jan Dolski, an everyday man facing impossible odds on a distant planet.
Face important choices from the past in order to save yourself in the present.
Create new versions of yourself to complete tasks impossible to tackle on your own.
Build relationships with the alters and try to influence their decisions.
Discover what manner of choices you are willing to make in order to survive.
Manage a moving base in order to escape the deadly rays of a rising sun.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that “The Alters” will be making its grand entrance on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X in the year 2025. And here’s another piece of exciting news: it’ll also be available on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass! So, mark your calendars and get ready to immerse yourself in this anticipated gaming experience!
