The Alters first gameplay trailer revealed – coming to Game Pass

11 bit studios are probably best known for Frostpunk, The Invincible and the recently released The Thaumaturge. But there’s another game that should be on your radar – The Alters. Today the first gameplay trailer has been revealed, alongside confirmation that this will be hitting Game Pass. 

11 bit studios have today revealed a first-look gameplay trailer for their upcoming emotional sci-fi game The Alters. And alongside that comes news that the title will launch on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass.

The Alters’ gameplay trailer shows the first look at Jan Dolski’s quest to escape a perilous planet while searching for the answer to the most oft-asked question in human history: what if?

The Alters is a new Game Pass adventure

This one has been inspired by the critically acclaimed, This War of Mine, as The Alters thrusts players into a heart-pounding battle for survival that Jan can’t conquer alone. After crash landing on a desolate planet with a scorching star, Jan must avoid the murderous conditions by taking refuge in a cutting-edge mobile base. The only issue? It’s meant to be operated by a skilled team and he’s just Jan.

Thankfully,  in The Alters fate takes a turn with the discovery of Rapidium, a mysterious substance exclusive to this perilous world. Interacting with the Quantum Computer on board the mobile base allows Jan to manipulate pivotal decisions from his past – creating alternate versions of himself known as Alters – that have the potential to change everything.

The Alters are indispensable allies, but it is they who possess diverse skill sets crucial for repairing the base, sustaining life, crafting essential tools, and mining precious resources. They are also more than that though, and shouldn’t be seen as mere taskbots. In fact, each operates as a sentient being, complete with unique emotions, goals, and even a dash of existential doubt thrown in. Obviously this does potentially open the door for chaos, but their collective goal remains the same: survive, escape, and do it all by themselves.

The Alters Gameplay Trailer needs a watch

Sounds good, eh? Well, The Alters is coming to Windows 11 PC and consoles later this year. Expect to be found playing it on Game Pass, both PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass upon release. 

For now though, enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think of it. The comments are below. We think 11 bit are onto a bit of a winner. Again.
