The Alters | Gameplay Reveal Trailer - Xbox Partner Preview 2024
Get a deep dive into the story of The Alters, the dangers that await you on a desolate planet, and take a look at gameplay in this latest trailer for the upcoming sci-fi game. Get ready to help Jan Dolski escape this dangerous planet--with the help of alternate versions of himself--when The Alters launches in 2024 on PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, as well as Game Pass for PC and Xbox.
The Alters throws you into a heart-pounding battle for survival that Jan can't conquer alone. After crash landing on a desolate planet with a scorching star, Jan must avoid the murderous conditions by taking refuge in a cutting-edge mobile base. The only issue? It’s meant to be operated by a skilled team and he’s just Jan.
Thankfully, fate takes a turn with the discovery of Rapidium, a mysterious substance exclusive to this perilous world. Interacting with the Quantum Computer on board the mobile base allows Jan to manipulate pivotal decisions from his past—creating alternate versions of himself known as Alters—that have the potential to change everything.
The Alters are indispensable allies and they possess diverse skill sets crucial for repairing the base, sustaining life, crafting essential tools, and mining precious resources. However, they’re also more than mere taskbots, with each operating as a sentient being, complete with unique emotions, goals, and even a dash of existential doubt thrown in. While this does potentially open the door for chaos, their collective goal remains the same: survive, escape, and do it all by themselves.

00:10 What if you could change the decisions you regret in your life,
00:22 and see the outcomes of those choices with your very own eyes?
00:27 [MUSIC]
00:30 The Alters tells the story of Jan Dalsky,
00:33 a simple miner who survived a crash landing on a hostile planet.
00:36 He quickly realizes that what was supposed to be a lifetime job opportunity
00:43 turns into a desperate fight for his life.
00:46 Jan will need to handle a large mobile base that's designed to be operated by
00:53 an entire team of qualified personnel.
00:55 Even worse, the planet Jan landed on revolves around the deadly scorching stars.
01:02 Escaping the sunrise is crucial for survival.
01:06 Despite his best efforts, Jan simply lacks the time and
01:12 skills to deal with all these problems on his own.
01:16 But the planet Jan is stranded on is home to a mysterious substance called rapidium.
01:24 With its use and the help of the quantum computer on board,
01:29 Jan is able to create alternative versions of himself, the Alters.
01:35 [MUSIC]
01:42 Each one of them is a result of altering a crucial decision from Jan's past.
01:47 The Alters are a reflection of the questions he asks himself.
01:51 What if I never left my hometown?
01:55 What if I didn't drop out of college?
01:57 What if I fought harder to save my marriage?
02:01 Our Alters have the necessary knowledge and skills that we desperately need to succeed.
02:08 But they also come with their own goals, ambitions and fears,
02:13 all derived from their different life paths.
02:16 And that can generate problems.
02:20 Stop pretending you have any idea how I feel.
02:24 Incompetence, incoherent decision making, a groundbreaking mission on the verge of failure.
02:31 Damn, I just hope I don't f*** everything up again.
02:35 You want a relationship that lasts, put some effort in it.
02:39 Each Jan is a different person.
02:41 It will be extremely difficult to keep everyone happy.
02:46 You gotta learn how to say no sometimes.
02:50 But we must do whatever we can, because as the mission goes on, the challenges will only pile up.
02:57 [MUSIC]
03:06 Obstacles on the outside, internal tensions that could prove to be even more dangerous.
03:13 And with a ticking clock of the deathly sun behind our backs, the only way home is to press forward.
