After a coolly received freeze strategy Frostpunk 2 decided to postpone to 11 bit studios Alters. The creators of This War of Mine take more time to ensure that the developers are not under as much pressure and have more opportunities to give players what they intended from the very beginning.
Another reason is the market itself. Polish studio wants to perform other differentiated teststo better understand what reactions players might have or what parts might irritate them. This is a reaction to Frostpunk 2. The Polish studio was surprised by the negative reaction from fans for being too much of a departure from the first part.
Although Frostpunk 2 had good reviews and was released within a week 350 thousand copies soldwhich provided a return on investment, but investors expected higher sales. This, along with negative feedback from players, led to a fall in 11 bit studios shares. This made the studio cautious, especially when combined with some negative feedback from players.
Another moment of reprieve marketing. Studio 11 bit intends to invest more in advertising to better introduce The Alters to players. This way, creators reduce the risk of failure.
“The development schedule for The Alters was very tight. There was uncertainty about whether the developers would have enough time to complete all the work to the quality we all expect. After so many years of development, we don’t need to risk the game having any flaws.” explains CEO Przemyslaw Marshall in a press release.
The Alters will be released in the first three months of 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It will be on the same day Available with Game Pass.
