The lines between factory automation and massive real-time strategy are officially blurring. At Nordic Game 2026 in Malmö, Sweden, developer Terykon Games and publisher Palaye dropped a massive bombshell for strategy fans: a brand-new gameplay teaser for their highly anticipated upcoming title, Warfactory.

If you’ve ever wanted to combine the complex supply-chain logistics of Factorio with the chaotic, screen-filling battles of a classic RTS, this is the title to keep on your radar. Even better? We won’t have to wait long to get our hands on it, as the game’s first public demo is officially arriving this August.

Check out the breakdown of what was revealed and what you can expect from this robotic onslaught.

What is Warfactory?

Set in a galaxy utterly consumed by a hostile insectoid horde, Warfactory casts you as an ancient Artificial Mind bound by a digital bushid? oath. Your mission? Restore order.

Unlike traditional RTS games, where units simply spawn from a barracks, every single robotic soldier in your army must be manufactured piece by piece on your factory floor. You’ll design, expand, and optimise planet-sized production systems on a tight hex-grid map. If your logistics bottleneck or a conveyor belt breaks, your frontline reinforcements stop, and your army collapses.

What’s New in the Teaser?

The fresh Summer 2026 teaser highlights massive overhauls implemented from the last six months of closed community playtesting.

• Massive Scale Combat: The trailer showcases chaotic real-time battles featuring hundreds of units on screen at once.
• Modular Unit Assembly: You can reconfigure production lines on the fly to adapt to changing enemy waves—swapping treads for hover plates or katanas for long-range cannons.
• Polished UI and New Units: A completely rebuilt user interface makes managing both your factories and your frontline smoother, alongside the debut of brand-new unit types.

The Golden Rule of Warfactory: Conquer a galaxy with a supply chain—one conveyor belt at a time.
