NEW KEY ART
We’re proud to unveil new key art for Alterium Shift, brought to life by the incredibly talented Marcel Mosqi.

Keep an eye out for it!

THE ROAD(MAP) AHEAD
While we’re still refining our roadmap, we want to share a few key points to assure you that Alterium Shift is moving forward. We appreciate your patience as we’ve navigated the complexities of our recent publisher transition.
Here’s a tentative look at what’s coming:
Act 2 Content Update: We aim to have this completed and delivered before the end of the year.
Nintendo Switch Demo: Targeted to be released along side the Act 2 content update (demo only).
Act 3 and Full Launch: We’re working hard to tie everything together for a full launch, with an expected completion date in 2025 to ensure the highest quality experience.
And here are some exciting features we’re hoping to introduce by year-end, in addition to the content updates:
Node-Based Fast Travel
On-Map Battles with an Improved Battle System
A New Fishing Mini-Game
A New Mount
Expanded core shift mechanics
And More!
Thank you all for your continued support. We’re committed to making Alterium Shift a polished retro-inspired experience and we couldn’t do it without your enthusiasm and feedback. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey together!
