A Mission Like No Other – Introducing the Alters: Expedition Logs

Warsaw, Poland, March 20th, 2025 —Survival has never been as personal as it is in The Alters, the upcoming sci-fi game from 11 bit studios, the creators of the acclaimed This War of Mine and Frostpunk. Personality is all about the choices that define us and in The Alters, both past and present decisions matter, as the game’s narrative seeks to answer one of humanity’s most profound questions: What if I had taken a different path in life?

Welcome to The Alters – Expedition Logs, a series documenting the journey behind the game—its design, mechanics, and the challenges that make it a truly personal and one-of-a-kind survival experience. Each entry will take us deeper into the heart of The Alters—from its unique approach to survival to the mysteries of the planet, and the emotional struggle of working alongside alternate versions of yourself. 

Our first log explores the foundation of The Alters—how it starts as a survival game yet quickly transforms into something much more. As the series unfolds, we’ll delve into the real challenge: managing your own alternate selves. Can you lead versions of yourself who may resent you—or believe they should be in charge instead? We’ll tackle the pressure of time, limited resources, and tough decisions that leave no one truly satisfied, as well as the final additions made to the game in the last stretch of development.

Strap in. The expedition is just beginning.

Developed by 11 bit studios, including creators of This War of Mine, The Alters launches in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, also in Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
