It was announced in June 2022 as a new work by “11 Bit Studios'', the creators of This War of Mine and Frostpunk, and its highly original Sci-Fi survival setting, where you survive by replicating yourself on a planet you crash landed on, became a hot topic. Regarding “The Alters,” in the latest “Xbox Partner Preview” that started broadcasting a while ago, it was announced that this work will be compatible with consoles and will be included in Xbox Game Pass, and it will be released as a new work for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2024. It has been revealed that it is scheduled for release within the year.
In addition, the plot depicts the exploration of the surface of the planet where they crash landed, the story of the main character Jan Drusky, the basic rules of survival that must be followed in order to avoid the scorching sunrise, and the main character who uses the mysterious substance lapidium that can be mined on the surface of the earth. A full-fledged gameplay trailer has been released that shows some very interesting details, such as the replicas and their different personalities, the difficult relationships they have with each other, and the survival that requires mutual cooperation.

■ isolated but not alone
Jan Dorsky is an ordinary worker who faces an impossible challenge. He crash lands on a faraway planet, leaving him alone with seemingly no way out. Yang's only hope for survival is to recruit helpers to her mobile base, but… how? Yang improvised on the spot using a local substance, lapidium, to create an alter ego of himself: Alter.
Have you ever thought about how your life would be different if you had chosen a different path in the past? Who will you be? Jan Druschi is about to face these questions, which will make his current predicament even more difficult. Each of his alters has a different personality and background, as each is the result of a specific change in their lives.
In order to return home, Yang must not only get along with the Alters, but also confront the grave choices she made in her past. The decisions we make based on it can sometimes put someone's life at risk. The question is, are you prepared for the consequences of that choice?
■ race against time
The planet that Yang landed on is slowly turning toward the giant sun. This means that radiation levels can quickly reach critical levels. Survival on this unforgiving planet is a deadly race, and Jan's base must keep on the move. Of course, this is easier said than done. This planet is very harsh and full of many obstacles that Yang has to overcome.
Navigating the barren landscape requires food, fuel, and other valuable resources. Fortunately, your base is ready to extract them from the planet's surface. The only problem is that it is quite difficult to find these necessary resources in time… and time is running out for it.
