Looking forward to it a latte.

Chorus Worldwide boss Shintaro Kanaoya credited Game Pass for some of the success the original Coffee Talk saw, as it introduced more players to the game. "We're excited that Episode 2 will be on the service from day one," Kanaoya said.

Pre-orders for the game are now live, with a 10 percent discount. Those interested in playing Episode 2 via Game Pass can pre-load the game now on Xbox and PC.

In 2021, Bertie spoke with Coffee Talk creator Fahmi on the inspiration for the game, and I'm keen to see if Episode 2 carries the same cosy meditation of the original.
