Barcelona, Spain & Brasília, Brazil — July 23, 2026
Every action in Alex & Arty leaves the world a little more alive. Journey across the vibrant planet of Gladness, cleanse corruption, restore nature, and explore alongside Arty, a shapeshifting companion whose different forms unlock new ways to traverse the world.
Independent developer RolldBox Games and publisher Jataí Games are pleased to announce their alliance and today announced that Alex & Arty will launch on Steam on September 16, 2026.
Alex & Arty places environmental restoration at the heart of the experience. As players progress, polluted environments gradually recover, revealing vibrant landscapes, renewed wildlife, and new paths to explore.
Throughout the adventure, Arty becomes much more than a companion. Its different forms allow players to reach previously inaccessible areas, while the creatures of Gladness — known as the Dilimals — each feature their own behaviours and personalities, making every biome feel distinct and alive.
Launching in English, Spanish, Catalan, Brazilian Portuguese, German, French and Italian, Alex & Arty combines exploration, traversal and environmental storytelling across forests, oceanic regions, volcanic landscapes and other unique locations that visibly transform through the player's actions.

"From the very beginning, we knew that Jataí Games perfectly understood our vision of creating video games for a better world, video games that generate a positive emotional impact," stated the management team at RolldBox Games. "Alex & Arty is a very ambitious project for us. We want players to feel that healing and flowing with the environment is just as exciting and challenging as any traditional combat mechanic. And brings the opportunity, if you want, to do real actions on our planet too. Thanks to this alliance, we will be able to bring the vibrant world of Gladness to millions of homes.", said Conxi Pérez, CEO & Co-founder.
“At Jatai Games, we couldn't be happier to have Alex & Arty as our very first publishing title. In a world increasingly filled with tragic events and discouraging news, Alex & Arty feels like a ray of hope. Its focus on non-violence, compassion, and restoring the world makes it a truly special game. It's the kind of experience that stays with players long after they've finished it, and we believe it has the potential to reach audiences far beyond the traditional gaming community. The dots.eco initiative is another reason why this project stands out. It's inspiring to see a game that contributes to making our planet a better place. We're grateful to be working with such passionate developers, and we hope this project inspires more creators to pursue ideas that can make a positive impact.”, said Leo Batelli, Publisher Director.
