Annapurna Just Dropped A Trio Of New Game Announcements Ahead Of Its Tokyo Game Show Debut

Annapurna Interactive, publisher of a mighty suite of bangers including Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Cocoon, Sayonara Wild Hearts and The Artful Escape, has just revealed (count ‘em) three brand-new game announcements ahead of its debut appearance at Tokyo Game Show.

Shown off in a special Annapurna Direct From Tokyo showcase, the three titles will all feature at Annapurna’s TGS 2025 booth alongside some already-released bangers like LEGO Voyagers, Stray and Outer Wilds.

These new announcements include People of Note, a turn-based RPG musical from Iridium Studios, D-TOPIA, a puzzle adventure from Marumittu Games, and Demi and the Fracture Dream, an action-adventure title from Yarn Own.

You can watch the trailers, and read publisher-supplied synopses of each game, below. We’re also in attendance at TGS 2025 and will be sharing our thoughts on these games once we’ve checked them out!

D-TOPIA

The Utopia Project was created in the interest of maximizing human happiness and comfort. As the newest residential Facilitator at D-topia, your role is to resolve issues around the residential community. Tackle fun logic-based puzzles to resolve mechanical issues and keep the facilities running smoothly and meet the many vibrant residents, each with their own unique story and personal struggle.

But what happens when problems go beyond the mechanical? How will your choices impact the wellbeing of the residents, and the future of humanity? In a world of curated happiness, what does it mean to find purpose?

• A Gentle-Paced, Reflective Adventure: Unwind in a calm, yet thought-provoking journey to discover what happiness truly means.
• Clever, Integrated Puzzles: Tackle satisfying logic puzzles that connect to the heart of this gentle-paced adventure.
• Meet D-topia’s Residents: Gain their trust, discover their stories, and shape their futures in unexpected ways.
• Your Choices Matter: Guide this artificial intelligence-managed utopia toward joy or despair through your decisions.
• Step Into Two Worlds: Move between the bright, public reality and the hidden “Block Side” to fix glitches and uncover secrets.

People of Note

After being shut out of the Noteworthy Song Contest, Cadence realizes that her solo act might not be enough for the judges. As she travels across Note to the Rock City of Durandis, the EDM City of Lumina, and more, Cadence fills out her band with eclectic and powerful musicians from lands afar. But something’s brewing in the distance…the Harmonic Convergence is playing havoc with the world’s musical energies, and dark forces are working behind the scenes to disrupt Note’s natural harmonies. It wasn’t in the set list, but Cadence and the others need to step up and make sure music itself still has a future on stage.
