The Artifactory Launches on Steam March 10, Nintendo Switch Version Planned

BUDAPEST, Hungary — March 4, 2026 — Independent studio Berries Studios today announced that their debut title, The Artifactory, will launch on Steam on March 10, 2026, at 18:00 (CET, Budapest time). A Nintendo Switch version of the game is also currently in development and planned for release in Q2 2026.

The Artifactory is a chaotic couch co-op party game where players function together to assemble magical loot boxes inside fast-paced, ever-changing factories. Inspired by the frantic cooperation of party games and the satisfaction of factory systems, players must coordinate their actions, move items along conveyor belts, and complete recipes before time runs out.

Beyond simply following recipes, players can also experiment with raw materials to discover entirely new item combinations. By mixing ingredients in different ways, teams can unlock new recipes and expand the range of loot they can produce, adding an extra layer of discovery and strategy to the factory chaos.

Designed for local multiplayer fun, the game challenges teams to manage production lines, package items correctly, and load shipments before the factory descends into complete mayhem. Communication and teamwork are key as conveyor belts twist, recipes grow more complex, and the pressure ramps up.

Players can expect colorful environments, unpredictable factory layouts, and a steady stream of chaotic moments as they race to keep production running smoothly.
