The Alters has a DLC, 'Last Variable,' launching in July 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a gameplay trailer released and a release date confirmed as July 14.
11 bit studios announced the DLC 'Last Variable' for 'The Alters' in June 2026, with a launch date of July 13 on PC and consoles. The DLC follows a single Jan who stays on a planet to research the mysterious 'Oasis,' leading four specialized Alters through a 20-hour story. New features include underground base expansion, terraforming, and a field lab system. The DLC adds a time-pressure layer by forcing players to manage aging Alters who cannot enter cryosleep.
A gameplay trailer released in July 2026 confirmed the DLC's release date as July 14, one day later than the initial announcement. The trailer showed the scientist protagonist creating new Alter versions of himself, all with different scientific specialties, to terraform a planet before a catastrophic sun arrives. The DLC expands the core game's premise of cooperating with alternate selves into a focused survival-terraforming scenario, with all new Alters being scientists rather than a mix of roles.
The two stories agree on the DLC's premise and features but differ on the release date by one day. The most recent story, from July 2, 2026, sets the launch for July 14. The DLC is set to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
