Fact check: 11bit Studios still plans to release the game The Alters in calendar year 2025.

1. Summary of the results

The original statement is technically correct but understates the certainty of the release plans. 11bit Studios has announced a specific release date of June 13, 2025 for The Alters ^{[1] [2]}, rather than just a vague intention to release in 2025. The game will be available on multiple platforms including PC (Steam, EGS, GOG), Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and will be included in Xbox Game Pass at launch ^{[1] [3]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement omits several important pieces of context:

• The game has already experienced multiple delays from its original November 2024 release window to Q1 2025, and now to June 2025 ^[4]
• The delays were specifically implemented to "refine the game and ensure high-quality standards" according to the developers ^[5]
• The game's premise involves protagonist Jan Dolski surviving on a hostile planet by creating alternative versions of himself called "Alters," combining survival mechanics, base building, and emotional storytelling ^[6]
• 11 Bit Studios' president Przemyslaw Marszal has personally addressed the delay, emphasizing their commitment to quality ^[3]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement's vagueness could be misleading in several ways:

• It presents the release timeframe as uncertain ("still plans to"), when in fact there is now a firm release date ^[2]
• It fails to acknowledge the game's development history and previous delays, which could give readers an incomplete picture of the project's status ^[4]
• The statement doesn't mention the multiple platform availability and Xbox Game Pass inclusion, which are significant aspects of the release strategy ^[4]

The statement appears to be outdated rather than intentionally misleading, as it uses language that would have been more appropriate during the period of uncertainty before the specific release date was announced.
