Capcom's Pragmata Reemerges at Sony State of Play

Capcom's elusive new game, Pragmata, has resurfaced at Summer Game Fest, this time with a new release window and a little more info on what the heck this game even is.

As demonstrated by the cheeky ending of the trailer, Pragmata is indeed a real game. You play as an astronaut man who's come into some unexpected enconter with alien creatures, including a little girl whose name is actually DI0367, but who the astronaut dubs Diana.

Though she's small, Diana's far from helpless - she has some sort of magic-techno-hacking powers that enable her to help out her astronaut friend as they fight off the weird robot-alien creatures trying to "neutralize" them. At the end of the trailer, it's briefly revealed that Pragmata seems to take place on the moon. But we still don't know much more than that.

Pragmata was first unveiled way back in 2020, with a trailer of an astronaut, a little girl, and some weird yet beautiful imagery, but little explanation as to what sort of game we were looking at. It was originally planned for a 2022 release, but was then later delayed until 2023, and then paused indefinitely with an apologetic trailer. We haven't seen anything of it since, so this re-unveiling hopefully means that its development is finally making some serious progress, and we'll get our hands on it soon...in 2026.
