据报道，育碧蒙特利尔正在开发一款社交模拟游戏，代号为Alterra，融合了受任天堂ADR（OTC:NTDOY）的《动物之森》和微软公司（NASDAQ:MSFT）的《Minecraft》启发的元素。
The project, led by former Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding has been in development for approximately 18 months, according to a report from Insider Gaming.

A New Direction: Social Sims And Voxel Creativity
全新方向：社交模拟游戏和体素创作
Alterra is said to have emerged from the remnants of a canceled Ubisoft Montreal project, which also centered around voxel-based creation.
据说Alterra源自于一个被取消的育碧蒙特利尔项目的残余，该项目也是以基于体素的创作为中心。
The new game is described as an "Animal Crossing-inspired social sim," where players inhabit a home island shared with NPCs known as Matterlings. These quirky characters are likened to Funko Pop figures, featuring exaggerated head proportions and designs that blend fictional and real-world creatures, ranging from polar bears to dragons.
这款新游戏被描述为“以《动物之森》为灵感的社交模拟游戏”，玩家们在一个家岛上和被称为Matterlings的NPC共享生活。这些古怪的角色被比作Funko Pop玩偶，拥有夸张的头部比例和融合了虚构和现实生物的设计，包括从北极熊到龙等形形色色的角色。
The gameplay reportedly combines social elements with a voxel-based building mechanic reminiscent of Minecraft. Players gather resources from different biomes beyond their home island to craft items and structures. Each biome features unique Matterlings, enemies and materials.
据报道，游戏玩法将社交元素与类似《Minecraft》的基于体素的建筑机制相结合。玩家们从家岛之外的不同生态区域收集资源，用来制作物品和建筑物。每个生态区域都有独特的Matterlings、敌人和材料。
For example, an ice biome might host snow-themed Matterlings and provide resources for crafting objects made of snow and ice. Players may also encounter others while exploring these diverse regions.
例如，一个冰冻生态区可能会有主题为雪的Matterlings，并提供用于制作雪和冰物品的资源。玩家们也可能在探索这些多样的地区时遇到其他人。

While details remain limited, Insider Gaming's report suggests that Alterra is still in its early stages, with a release likely several years away.

该发行商正准备明年推出《刺客信条：阴影》和《模拟城市117：罗马和平》。与此同时，像《异度之刃2》和《波斯王子：时之沙》重制版等项目继续面临拖延的开发时间表，后者现在瞄准在2026年发布。
