  • Tanuki: Pon's Summer announced at the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, coming to PC and Xbox next year.
  • Play as Pon, a tanuki delivering mail, performing BMX tricks, fishing, and interacting with quirky locals.
  • Engage in summer activities like bug catching, sushi making, baseball, and more while restoring the Great Tanuki Shrine.

Critical Reflex and Denkiworks dropped a new reveal this week at the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, as Tanuki: Pon's Summer is coming to PC and Xbox consoles. Created by the same minds that brought the insanely addictive indie game Cursed To Golf, this brand new title will have you playing as a tanuki who delivers mail for a small modern fantasy-like town, where you'll get packages to everyone throughout your shift. Along the way, you'll also perform tricks on your bike, fish in the nearby rivers, interact with the townsfolk, and more in what looks like a challenging yet cozy title. No word on a release date, but we're guessing we won't see this one until 2025. For now, enjoy the trailer!
