Hello Everyone!
Were excited to announce a new game were working on. Forged in the spirit of meaningful entertainment The Alters is a game about life-changing moments asking one fundamental question: WHAT IF?

Watch The Alters Announcement Trailer below:
[previewyoutube=au_ek16Bm-o;full][/previewyoutube]
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor - Alexis Carrel

This is the story of Jan Dolski, a simple worker facing circumstances that lead him to a life-changing crossroads. Crash landing on a distant planet, stranded and alone, Jan finds himself in a daunting life and death situation. His only hope for survival is to bring helping hands on board. Not yet understanding the weight of his choice, Jan must create alternate versions of himself if he is to forge ahead: the alters.

The Alters is a game about life-changing moments. Those binary decisions that happen in nanoseconds, but have influence over your entire life. It is about looking into yourself, into your past, and discovering that you are who you are as a sum of those numerous choices. And when you do that a fundamental question arises: WHAT IF?

What If I altered my life? What if I took a different path? Who would I be? What would I say to a different me? What could I learn if I talked to my altered selves? What if I talk to my many selves at once?! What if?

Forged in the spirit of meaningful entertainment: a unique philosophy of creation by the award-winning team, the makers of This War of Mine and Frostpunk.

Hi there, Community!

We have some super exciting news for you!

We are proud to team up once again with the developers of Moonlighter and take on an ambitious project from Fools Theory! Both projects -- in various stages of development with further details coming in 2020 and beyond -- are bigger in scope than anything 11 bit has previously published.

Were still an extremely picky publisher. Were probably even pickier than we were before if you can believe it! Our job is to hand-pick true gems and put our best efforts in with the development teams to help make them shine. We believe in boosting unique projects and using all the marketing magic we have to see them succeed. Right now, weve got two projects were really proud to have under our wing, - Pawel Feldman, Publishing Director at 11 bit studios.



Details are sparse right now (gotta save all that marketing magic for later), but we can reveal the following:

• We are beyond thrilled to be teaming up with Poland-based Fools Theory for their latest project, codenamed Vitriol. The studio behind the artfully created stealth title, Seven: The Days Long Gone, is developing a game best described as a meaningful RPG. Jakub Rokosz, CEO at Fools Theory says, We are truly happy to align with 11 bit studios. Theyre known for their ability to find the unique spirit in a game and I believe our upcoming title fits impeccably with the type of projects they like to work on.
  
• You might also say that we are over the Moon(lighter) to be teaming up once more with Digital Sun Games. Theres nothing to divulge just yet, but rest assured that the hard-working Spanish developer is putting the same care and attention into their new project (codename Foxhole) as they did with their critically acclaimed indie hit, Moonlighter, but this time its a totally new IP. We badly wanted to work with these guys again. As a team, we feel 11 bit did a great job with Moonlighter and we both want to do even better things together. Its really as simple as that, says Javier Gimenez, CEO at Digital Sun Games.

Hi there, Community!

We have some pretty amazing news for you today!

Children of Morta will be arriving on PC this September 3, 2019. The Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 versions of the game will launch on October 15, 2019. To celebrate the launch date announcement, you can check out the all-new trailer below.

Watch our brand-new "It Runs in the Family" trailer here:
https://youtu.be/_oapcHvc6UQ
About the game:
Corruption has spread, morphing the once peaceful Mount Morta into a violent and monster-infested nightmare. Will you be able to sacrifice everything to save the ones you care for? Children of Morta is a story-driven action RPG about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is devoured in darkness. Lead the Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, and experience what it means to be in a family of heroes.



Children of Morta copes with themes closer to our daily lives than one would expect. It is a story of the simple emotions we all know so well and value more than sometimes we dare to admit love and hope, longing and uncertainty, ultimately loss and the sacrifices we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for.

We hope you're as excited about the release date as we are! We're working very hard to deliver the best family-themed rogue-lite out there - and we're really hoping you're going to love it!

Take care,
Dead Mage & 11 bit studios

We are happy to announce that Beat Cop is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

For the average price of a dozen donuts ($14.99 / 14.99), you can fill the shoes of disgraced detective Jack Kelly on his road to redemption after being framed for murder.

Patrolling the gritty streets of 1980's Brooklyn is no cake walk, and when you're a police officer who has been implicated for a murder you didn't commit, it's even harder. Jack Kelly's on a mission to clear his name in this pixel perfect homage to the cop shows of days gone by, and he can't do it without your help.

Watch the release trailer here:
https://youtu.be/LXVsCIgX-ow
Solve puzzling problems on the roughest of streets, help the local community, deal with dangerous mobsters and gangsters, be the good cop or take the odd bribe on the side, and finally, solve the mystery of a murder youve been framed for.

Features:

• Retro pixel art experience with a non-linear story and multiple endings
  
• The pure essence of 80s cop shows
  
• Mature *ahem* humor
  
• Laying down the law, one ticket at a time
  

11 bit studios is happy to announce that their 80s cop show inspired indie hit, Beat Cop is making the move to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 5, 2019, for the average price of a dozen donuts or $14.99 / 14.99.

As careers go, law enforcement may not be the easiest path to walk. Its a tough challenge for even tougher people. Playing as officer Jack Kelly, framed for murder and downgraded from detective to a street patrol cop in Brooklyn, the path you walk might be tougher than most!
