Annapurna Unveils Three Indie Games at Tokyo Game Show

The showcase signals a rebuilt pipeline after last year's staff departures.

Overview

  • Annapurna's Tokyo-set Direct introduced D-topia from Marumittu Games, People of Note from Iridium Studios, and Demi and the Fractured Dream from Yarn Owl.
  • D-topia presents a reflective puzzle-adventure about a Facilitator maintaining an AI-managed utopia, while Demi and the Fractured Dream pays tribute to classic action-adventures with hack-and-slash combat and environmental puzzles.
  • People of Note frames its turn-based RPG as a full musical with story and battles built on musical expression, which its creative director likened to a fusion of Expedition 33 and K-Pop Demon Hunters.
  • All three titles are playable at Tokyo Game Show from September 25–28 at Annapurna’s booth in Makuhari Messe, Hall 6, 06-C01, marking the publisher’s TGS debut.
  • Each game is slated for 2026 with multi-platform releases across PC via Steam and Epic, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch with Switch 2 where specified.
