Southeast Asian Games Showcase Debuts at Summer Game Fest 2025

With Summer Game Fest 2025 just around the corner, gaming enthusiasts from all over the world will be looking forward to more AAA announcements and indie gems. When it comes to the latter, especially for those from Southeast Asia, there’s something special brewing this year. The Southeast Asian Games Showcase will be making its inaugural appearance as part of the show.

Featuring over 40 different games from Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and more, the two headliners that have been teased are:

• Coffee Talk Tokyo (Indonesia/Japan): The newest instalment of the beloved coffee brewing and heart-to-heart talking simulator, now set in Tokyo, where humans and yokai alike co-exist.
• Cat Quest III (Singapore): Play as a purrivateer in this 2.5D open-world action RPG set in a fantastical pirate-themed world – the Purribean – an archipelago swarming with Pi-rats searching for the Northern Star – a long-lost mythical treasure.

Expect to learn more details about each title at the showcase, including launch dates and new updates. This will be followed by a Steam sale of all available titles to satisfy your gaming needs instantly.
