10 Overlooked Upcoming Games You MUST Consider
1. Coffee Talk Tokyo
And finally, we have Coffee Talk Tokyo, the third entry into the cult classic series Coffee Talk, which has ingeniously melded relaxing coffee-brewing sim mechanics with a visual novel story starring hip fantasy characters living in Seattle.
Despite the series' acclaim it's still flown relatively under-the-radar, and with the devastating passing of creator Mohammad Fahmi in 2022, its future was subsequently left in doubt.
But Coffee Talk Tokyo was rather quietly announced last summer, shifting the franchise's cosy, joe-slurping shenanigans to the Japanese capital, for a game which appears to offer a welcome mix of old and new.
The distinct setting brings with it new customers of course, but many familiar faces are back, as is composer Andrew "AJ" Jeremy to deliver another soothing soundscape of lo-fi beats.
Coffee Talk Tokyo doesn't have a concrete release date beyond "2025" yet, but if it ends up releasing in the last few months of the year it'll certainly be a well-timed warm blanket of a game just as the nights draw in and the temp starts dropping.
