Ubisoft's Alterra

Ubisoft is entering the "relaxing life simulation" genre with its newly announced project, Alterra. This new game, reminiscent of the popular Animal Crossing series, allows players to create their dream life on a voxel-based island.

Ubisoft's New Life Simulation Game: Alterra

Ubisoft's Animal Crossing-style game is being developed under the creative leadership of Patrick Redding, former creative director of Gotham Knights, and veteran producer Fabien Lhéraud at Ubisoft Montreal. This studio is known for developing popular games like For Honor and Child of Light.

Explore and Interact with the Island

In Alterra, players will explore various biomes to gather resources and meet the island's inhabitants, known as Matterlings. These NPCs range from fantastical creatures to realistic designs. Players can interact with the Matterlings, build friendships, and even invite them to live on their island as neighbors.

Voxel-Based World Inspired by Minecraft

Alterra's world, similar to Minecraft, utilizes a voxel-based visual approach. The game is a revival of a previously shelved Ubisoft project that used the same graphics style. Sources claim the game has been in development for about a year and a half, meaning its release is still some time away.

Anticipated Release and Platforms

Ubisoft has not yet officially announced the platforms or release date for Alterra. However, given the popularity of life simulation games like Animal Crossing, Alterra has the potential to be an exciting and fresh addition to the genre.

Ubisoft's Alterra is set to offer a unique and immersive life simulation experience. With its voxel-based graphics and engaging gameplay, it promises to be a standout title in the genre. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated game.
