Artis Impact is a turn-based RPG set 3000 years in the future in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by a runaway AI. It launches on Switch on September 17, 2026, and was playable at Happinet's Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth.
Artis Impact is a turn-based RPG from Happinet's indie publishing label. It is set 3000 years in the future in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by a runaway AI. The protagonist is Akane, a rookie in the resistance group A-Lith.
Happinet confirmed the game's release date and exhibition plans over the summer. At Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8, 2026, Artis Impact was one of three titles Happinet brought for trial play, alongside Tokyo Stories and Mononoke no Kuni. A Switch release was set for September 17, 2026. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Artis Impact was playable in the indie corner next to Stray, while Happinet's main booth carried six titles including Brigandine Abyss, Beast of Reincarnation, Tokyo Stories, Mononoke no Kuni, and two unannounced titles.
The game's economy is the subject of its own coverage. Akane starts with 30 dollars and pays for nearly everything: a 1% fee to save, 75 dollars per boss rematch, 5 dollars a night in a capsule, and 1400 dollars for a gold membership. She funds this through a convenience store shift and a double shift at a Chinese restaurant. That article ran as part of a Happinet and Denfami tie-up, which puts the labor-and-fees structure at the center of how the game is being pitched.
