The Alters gameplay looks like some sci-fi goodness

Check it out here.

The Alters gameplay was today shown off as part of this morning’s Xbox Partner Preview event, and we’ve got it here for you to view.

“Inspired by the critically acclaimed title This War of Mine, The Alters thrusts players into a heart-pounding battle for survival that Jan can’t conquer alone,” Polish developer 11 Bit Studios said in a press release.

“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,” it continued. “The only issue? It’s meant to be operated by a skilled team and he’s just Jan.”

After finding Rapidium, “a mysterious substance exclusive to this perilous world”, Jan realises he can create copies of himself — the Alters — to assist.

“The Alters are indispensable allies and they possess diverse skill sets crucial for repairing the base, sustaining life, crafting essential tools, and mining precious resources,” 11 Bit Studios continued. “However, they’re also more than mere taskbots, with each operating as a sentient being, complete with unique emotions, goals, and even a dash of existential doubt thrown in. While this does potentially open the door for chaos, their collective goal remains the same: survive, escape, and do it all by themselves.”

Expect The Alters later this year on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5. It’ll also be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
