The Alters’ Temporal Shift: 11 bit Studios Pushes Release to 2025

In an unexpected twist, Polish game developer 11 bit studios has announced a significant delay for their highly anticipated sci-fi adventure game, The Alters. Originally slated to follow closely on the heels of their recent hit Frostpunk 2, the game’s launch has now been pushed back to the first quarter of 2025.

Quality Over Speed

Przemysław Marszał, President of 11 bit studios, emphasized the team’s commitment to delivering a top-notch gaming experience. “We’ve poured our hearts into The Alters for quite some time now,” Marszał stated. “To ensure we present it in the best possible light, we’ve decided to invest more time in its development.”

Market Dynamics at Play

While the studio cites quality concerns, industry insiders speculate that recent market reactions may have influenced this decision. Despite Frostpunk 2’s critical acclaim and impressive sales figures—selling 350,000 copies in just three days—11 bit studios experienced a puzzling 50% drop in stock value shortly after the game’s release.

A Calculated Move

The postponement of The Alters could be seen as a strategic move to:

• Fine-tune gameplay mechanics
• Expand marketing efforts
• Allow market sentiments to stabilize

What to Expect

The Alters promises to blend adventure gaming with survival elements in a unique sci-fi setting. When it finally launches, players can look forward to experiencing it on:

• PC
• Consoles
• PC Game Pass
• Xbox Game Pass

While fans may feel disappointed, this delay could result in a more polished and memorable gaming experience. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait—and in the case of The Alters, the wait just got a little longer.
