11 Bit Studios Draws Parallels Between This War of Mine and The Alters

Polish developer 11 Bit Studios has released a new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi adventure, The Alters, highlighting its connection to their critically acclaimed war survival game, This War of Mine. The new trailer reflects on the studio's journey, showcasing the evolution from the bleak realism of This War of Mine to the more vibrant, often humorous narrative of The Alters.

While This War of Mine is renowned for its stark depiction of wartime survival, The Alters embraces a more passionate and comedic tone, focusing on the struggles of alternate versions of protagonist Jan Dolski. Despite these tonal shifts, the developers emphasize a strong thematic link between the two titles.

Both games share a central theme of survival, albeit presented in vastly different contexts. In This War of Mine, players grapple with the harsh realities of war within a besieged city, meticulously managing resources and facing daily challenges to keep their civilian group alive. The Alters, conversely, casts survival as a desperate race against time, demanding players constantly relocate their mobile base to escape a relentless, dust-inducing sun.

Both games challenge players to confront uncomfortable situations, venturing into hostile environments to secure vital resources. The key distinction lies in the playable characters: This War of Mine guides a group of randomly generated civilians, whereas The Alters features a unique team of Jan Dolski's alternate selves.

The Alters is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on launch day.
