Pragmata

Pragmata is a third-person science fiction action-adventure game that Capcom both developed and published. It came out in April 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC and Nintendo Switch 2, with the Switch 2 version arriving on April 24, 2026 in Japan. The game runs on Capcom’s RE Engine.

The story takes place in the near future at the Cradle, a mining outpost on the Moon run by the Delphi Corporation. The base harvests lunafilament, a material that powers machines able to 3D print almost anything from a blueprint, and it is managed by an artificial intelligence called IDUS. Delphi engineer Hugh Williams arrives with a team after contact with the Cradle goes silent, gets separated from them in a moonquake, and is revived by Diana, a child-like android. With IDUS turned hostile, the two try to find a way back to Earth.

Players guide Hugh and Diana together. Hugh fights with energy and electricity-based weapons and uses a jetpack to dodge and reach far-off spots. Because most enemy robots are armored, Diana hacks them through a grid puzzle, steering a cursor to a target tile while optional nodes add bonuses such as extra damage. The puzzles happen in real time, so Hugh must keep avoiding attacks while Diana works. Defeated robots drop lunafilament, which is spent on new weapons, gear and upgrades, and collected data lets Hugh give Diana gifts.

Capcom revealed Pragmata in June 2020 during Sony’s PlayStation 5 showcase as its first new franchise in eight years. The game was first planned for 2022, then pushed to 2023 and later delayed with no date before a 2026 window was confirmed. A free demo called Pragmata: Sketchbook arrived on Steam during The Game Awards 2025 and on consoles in February 2026, and a Diana amiibo grants extra weapons and recovery items. On PC, the game supports path tracing on Nvidia graphics cards.

Pragmata received generally favorable reviews according to Metacritic. Critics praised the bond between Hugh and Diana and the way the hacking mixes with combat, while some pointed to pacing in the later areas and the lack of a minimap when hunting collectibles. Sales passed one million copies within two days, two million within 16 days, and more than 2.7 million by September 30, 2026.
