10 Video Games That Just Got DELAYED
8. The Alters
Founded by former members of CD Projekt and Metropolis Software, Polish video game developer and publisher 11 Bit Studios has had a successful, if low-key decade and a half in the business, bringing us survival and tower defence games like Anomaly: Warzone Earth, This War of Mine and the Frostpunk series.
It was no surprise, then, to discover their latest project is The Alters, a timed survival game where players have to mine resources and expand their base before a deadly sun rises. Dovetailing neatly with Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, the game follows Jan Dolski, a miner-builder who creates alternate versions of himself – the “alters” of the title - to ensure his survival on an inhospitable planet.
Announced at the PC Gaming Show 2022, The Alters was set for a 2024 release, before being pushed in the first quarter of 2025. Since the first quarter has been and gone, 11 Bit have changed their projection to an unspecified 2025 release date, citing the need for additional time to further refine mission parameters, ensure all essential systems are up to scratch, and integrate some new enhancements (@ PC Gamer).
