11 Bit Studios has unveiled new gameplay footage of its upcoming sci-fi survival title, The Alters, at the Xbox Partner Preview event. The game is set to launch on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass later this year, though an exact release date has not been specified.
The Alters narrative unfolds on a distant planet, where protagonist Jan Dolski seeks refuge in a mobile base. Through the discovery of mysterious resources, Jan gains the ability to alter his past decisions, leading to the creation of alternate versions of himself known as the “Alters.” These Alters assist in the management of the base, with the primary objective being to escape the planet before survival becomes impossible.
Gameplay in The Alters blends base management tasks with third-person adventure elements. Each Alter possesses unique skills for base operations such as mining, crafting, and resource collection. They also have individual needs and objectives that Jan Prime must balance and prioritize.
While The Alters is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms, its availability on Game Pass was only recently confirmed. According to a report from Windows Central, 11 Bit Studios struck a deal with Xbox to bring some of their games to Game Pass on launch day.
