11 bit studios Announces June 13 Launch Date for "The Alters" - Coming to PC & Modern Consoles
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? Revealed today as part of the 2025 Triple-I Initiative, 11 bit studios 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.
Are You Ready to Face Yourself and Yourself and Yourself?
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.
The game is set to launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Wishlist The Alters on Steam, GOG or the Epic Games Store.

Interesting concept, Fallout Shelter meets Frostpunk meets light exploration ?
"hey you need to go fetch those rocks... yeah those... 5km away" and you start running and this game also feature stamina and hunger, etc, so incredibly dumb and time waste, specially when you can't carry all of them back.
I became stuck trying to find some resource as i got completely lost in the map and minimap doesn't help at all, uninstalled super fast.
the "marketing" makes it sound much much better than the game itself, with no instant/fast travel this is dead on arrival for me, also "deadly puzzle", yeah no.. i don't want to dance around some dumb puzzle "or you'll dieeeee", that's not fun
Definitely a "Wait for many reviews" game, which is sad to say after This War of Mine, Children of Morta and of course Frostpunk.
