PRAGMATA shares new details for story and combat

PRAGMATA

Capcom has shared new details and gameplay for PRAGMATA, showing off the story and combat in the hotly anticipated sci-fi action game.

Here’s a rundown on the new details, screenshots, and a slice of gameplay:

Capcom Spotlight provided a more detailed look at PRAGMATA featuring new details about the game’s sci-fi story and the first extended footage of its unique action-packed gameplay.

PRAGMATA takes place in the near future. In the years since the discovery of Lunam Ore, humanity has developed Lunafilament, a material capable of replicating almost anything. One day without warning, Earth lost contact with the lunar research station dedicated to this Lunafilament, as all signals went dark.

Today’s footage delves deeper into this out-of-this-world adventure. The journey follows Hugh Williams, who is dispatched to the moon as part of a team to investigate what happened. When a lunar quake suddenly strikes the facility, Hugh is separated from his team, injured, and knocked unconscious. In this moment, he’s rescued by an enigmatic Pragmata, a unique android created using Lunafilament, who has the appearance of a young girl. As the unlikely duo joins forces to fend off the station’s rampaging bots, Hugh nicknames his newfound companion “Diana,” and they embark on a mission to escape the lunar station and return to Earth.

In PRAGMATA, Hacking and shooting are at the core of gameplay. During combat, a panel will appear on screen while aiming at enemies. This represents Diana’s ability to hack into foes’ defenses. By maneuvering the cursor through this panel, she can take down their armor and provide openings for Hugh to blast enemy weak points with his arsenal of weapons. This system will challenge players to think on the fly to overcome multisided situations in the heat of battle.

Exploration is also a team effort. Diana can utilize her Hacking abilities outside of combat to access the facility’s systems and remove environmental barriers that block progress. Meanwhile, Hugh can make use of his suit’s thrusters to traverse the lunar station’s terrain. By combining their skills and abilities, they can achieve feats that would be impossible alone.

The official website for PRAGMATA is now fully open. Alongside new information about the game, the site includes a “Hacking Minigame” allowing players to experience part of the game’s unique combat system before PRAGMATA launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in 2026. Before then, the game will be playable at gamescom 2025 and other events.
