Coffee Talk Tokyo Brings the Series to a New City and a New Developer
The shift from Toge Productions to Chorus Worldwide as lead developer marks the first time a Coffee Talk game has been built outside the original studio, while keeping the series' core premise of listening to customers over coffee.
Reporting from 1 sources: 4Gamer.net.
Chorus Worldwide released Coffee Talk Tokyo on May 21, 2026, for Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Xbox One. The spin-off moves the coffee shop from Seattle to an alternative 2026 Tokyo where humans, yokai, and gods coexist. Toge Productions, the original developer, now supervises while Chorus handles primary development. The game introduces a barista assistant named Vin and a new cast of regulars.
The familiar hiss of the espresso machine returns, but the view out the window has changed. Coffee Talk Tokyo, released May 21 by Chorus Worldwide, transplants the late-night cafe from Seattle to a neon-lit Tokyo where yokai and descendants of gods sit alongside humans. For the first time in the series, the player character is not alone behind the counter: Vin, a staff member with a cybernetic arm and hazy memories, handles serving. The regulars include a ghost who cannot move on, a kappa retired from an electric power company, and a pixie raising a fox-eared daughter with his human wife. Toge Productions, the Indonesian studio behind the first two games, now supervises development rather than leading it.
