PRAGMATA shown off for the first time in years

When Sony first showed off the PlayStation 5 at the company’s ‘Future of Gaming’ showcase back in 2020, one of the most interesting titles announced was Capcom’s PRAGMAMA. In the 5 years since, the game has seen quite a few delays – going from a planned 2022 release, to 2023 and then an indefinite delay. Finally, PRAGMATA has resurfaced, showing off a bunch of gameplay and an official release year.

Announced during the most recent State of Play (and elaborated upon further via the PlayStation Blog), Cho Yonghee – the director for PRAGMATA at Capcom – wrote:

“To everyone who has been waiting so patiently for an update, and to those of you joining us today for the first time, it’s my great pleasure to be here with you.”

Described as “an all-new science fiction adventure with its own unique twist of action and strategy” we got our first proper taste of gameplay and how the dual protagonist mechanics will function.

As mentioned, PRAGMATA was first announced during the initial PS5 reveal event with a 2022 release year. Then, in late 2021 the game was pushed back to 2023 citing their desires to “ensure this will be an unforgettable adventure.”

Following this, Capcom delayed the game one more time, back during the Summer of 2023 – this time offering neither a release window nor even a release year.

Given how long ago the game was first announced, and the relative lack of updates, the re-announcement of PRAGMATA came as quite a surprise – but a welcome one to be sure.

Of course, development is far from over, and so there’s no point counting your chickens before they hatch. That said, given the fact that Capcom is confident enough to give PRAGMATA a release year, hopefully the game is indeed finally nearing completion.
