PRAGMATA: Capcom's Sci-Fi Adventure Coming in 2026

Capcom's highly anticipated sci-fi action-adventure PRAGMATA is set to launch in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. After multiple delays since its initial 2020 reveal, the game showcased its first playable demo at Gamescom 2025, giving players their first hands-on experience with its innovative dual-character gameplay.

Story and Setting

PRAGMATA takes place on a lunar research station that has been overrun by hostile AI robots. Players must guide spacefarer Hugh and android Diana as they work together to fight the rogue AI controlling the facility and find a way back to Earth. The game's narrative explores themes of technology, artificial intelligence, and human survival in the hostile environment of space.

Dual Character Gameplay

One of PRAGMATA's most distinctive features is its dual-character control system. Players control both Hugh and Diana simultaneously, switching between them strategically to overcome obstacles and enemies:

Hugh - The Spacefarer - Equipped with multiple firearms for combat - Features a **jetpack** for dodging attacks and reaching distant areas - Can execute direct assaults on enemies - Relies on Diana to disable enemy defenses

Diana - The Android - Possesses advanced **hacking abilities** - Can breach robot defense systems - Disables enemy armor to reveal weak points - Provides tactical support for Hugh's attacks

Combat System

The combat in PRAGMATA requires careful coordination between both characters. Enemy robots are protected by impenetrable armor, making direct attacks ineffective. Diana must first hack into a robot's defense system to disable its armor, revealing critical weak points that Hugh can then target with his weapons.

This creates a tactical gameplay loop where players must: 1. Position Diana to hack enemy defenses 2. Wait for the armor breach 3. Switch to Hugh to exploit the revealed weak points 4. Use Hugh's jetpack to dodge counter-attacks

Exploration and Traversal

Beyond combat, PRAGMATA emphasizes exploration of the lunar research station. Hugh's jetpack enables vertical traversal and allows players to reach otherwise inaccessible areas, while Diana's technical expertise opens new paths through locked facilities and deactivated systems.

Visual Design and Atmosphere

PRAGMATA showcases Capcom's cutting-edge visual technology with stunning depictions of the lunar station, Earth visible in the distance, and detailed character models. The game's art direction combines realistic sci-fi aesthetics with a haunting atmosphere that emphasizes the isolation and danger of the setting.

Platforms and Release

PRAGMATA will be available on: - PC (via Steam) - PlayStation 5 - Xbox Series X|S

The game is scheduled to launch sometime in 2026, though an exact release date has not been announced.
