Annapurna Direct From Tokyo
Alongside the TGS stage event for D-topia, Annapurna hosted a separate live Direct broadcast from Tokyo. Independent of TGS 2025, this stream announced three new titles: D-topia, People of Note, and Demi and the Fractured Dream.
D-Topia
Developed by Marumittu Games, D-topia is a casual puzzle-adventure game launching in 2026. You play as a newly hired facilitator whose job is to solve puzzles to maintain resident happiness and community harmony. Progress reveals world-integrated puzzles, diverse residents, and choices that determine whether this utopia flourishes or descends into despair. Gameplay also involves shifting between the utopia and its hidden 'Block Side' to fix glitches and uncover narrative secrets.
People of Note
Developed by Iridium Studios for a 2026 release, People of Note is a turn-based RPG with musical integration. You assume the role of Cadence, a budding solo artist on a quest to become a star by recruiting other musicians. The adventure travels across the world of Note, from the rock capital Durandis to the EDM-centric city Lumina.
Combat fuses turn-based strategy with rhythm mechanics, where timing actions to the music's beat enhances their effects. Battles change dynamically as tracks shift, and party composition allows for creative genre mashups. The world of Note also features music-inspired puzzles and enemies.
Demi and the Fractured Dream
Developed by Yarn Owl Studios, Demi and the Fractured Dream is an action-adventure fantasy game planned for 2026. You play as Demi, a Voidsent guided by a mysterious voice to defeat cursed beasts and save the world of Somnus. The journey spans diverse regions like the Desert Kingdom and Marsh Kingdom, each with unique challenges. Demi wields power granted by the voice, which strengthens her but also consumes her over time. Gameplay includes dungeons, environmental puzzles, platforming, and large-scale boss battles, drawing inspiration from classic Zelda adventures.
