Annapurna Interactive held its “Direct From Tokyo” showcase ahead of the official start of the much-anticipated Tokyo Game Show 2025. All three games are playable at TGS.
The 10-minute showcase included the reveal of three new games under development, all three of which are slated to release in 2026: Demi and the Fractured Dream, People of Note, and D-topia.
Demi and the Fractured Dream
Play as Demi, a voidsent born into the world of Somnus seeking the way to escape his cursed fate. Guided by a mysterious voice and aided by the acolyte Mergo, Demi embarks on a perilous journey across diverse lands, to fulfil his destiny. Demi is a tribute to classic action-adventure games focusing on nostalgic hack and slash combat and environmental puzzle and platforming, wrapped in a captivating narrative.
D-topia
Assume the role of a resident maintenance worker (a “Facilitator”) at the D-topia residential facility, addressing citizen’s concerns, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets of a seemingly perfect society managed by A.I. D-topia is a puzzle-adventure game focusing on exploration and nuanced choices that uncover the human heart of this perfectly happy world as the narrative progresses.
People of Note
People of Note is a bold and wild musical narrative adventure, told through the lens of a turn-based role-playing game. The game is a full fledged musical, condensed into a video game. Not only is its heartfelt story portrayed through choreographed cinematic musical sequences, but the very battle system and game mechanics are based on an intricate, interactive sequence of musical expressions and abilities.
Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2025 will formally run from September 25 through September 28 and is Japan’s largest gaming festival.
Some of Annapurna’s popular games that have released over the years include the award-winning Stray and Outer Wilds. The publisher has released Wanderstop and Lego Voyagers so far in 2025.
