Previously set for a Q1 2025 release, the survival title has been hit with another delay, and is now due out “later this year.”

We’ve been waiting for The Alters for a while now, and it seems that’s not changing anytime soon. Though it was originally targeting a 2024 release, the survival title was delayed into Q1 of 2025. Halfway through the quarter, however, developer and publisher 11 bit studios has announced another delay for the game.

Taking to Twitter, 11 bit studios has announced that The Alters is now due out “later this year”. When exactly in the year we can expect it is anyone’s guess.

In the announcement, which is written in the form of an in-universe memo, 11 bit acknowledged that another delay will be frustrating, but assured that it will take the added time to continue refining and polishing the game.

“While we recognize that this may not be the update you were hoping for, this additional time is being dedicated to further refining mission parameters and ensuring that all essential systems meet Ally Corp’s uncompromising standards,” the announcement reads. “Furthermore, it is also allowing us to integrate new enhancements into Project Dolly, ensuring that your eventual deployment is more exciting and rewarding than originally projected.”

The Alters is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
