As one of Capcom’s newest IPs, Pragmata is quite the interstellar thrill ride from the looks of it. While known for constant delays since its reveal in 2020, the sci-fi shooter is finally seeing the light of day this year.
From a mysterious story to intriguing gameplay, the title is shaping up to be quite the interesting entry for 2026. Well, we’ve got everything you need to know about Pragmata before it releases, and to help you on your journey with Hugh and Diana.
When is the release date for Pragmata?
Pragmata is scheduled to release on April 24th, 2026. In the past, it was set to come out in 2021, 2023, and then in 2026.
What platforms will Pragmata release on?
Pragmata will launch on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, the game is looking to skip Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
What price is Pragmata launching at?
Pragmata is set to launch at $59.99 across all platforms. The price is quite generous, as most AAA games aim towards $69.99, so fans will save some money with it this time.
What is the plot of Pragmata?
From what we know, thanks to the official synopsis, Pragmata follows Hugh, a space traveler, and Diana, an android child, on an seemingly-abandoned lunar station. The unlikely duo will take on the station’s hostile AI and attempt to return to Earth. It looks to be pretty action-packed, sprinkled with some light-heartedness thanks to Diana.
How does Pragmata’s gameplay work?
The gameplay of Pragmata is quite different than what’s expected in the third-person shooter genre. As Hugh, you’ll use your pistol to shoot robots. However, you have to hack the robot’s system to deal maximum damage, which is where Diana comes in. Via interactive puzzles, she’ll be able to enter enemies’ systems and expose their weak points. It’s a balancing act that’s sure to keep many on their toes.
Are there any special editions of Pragmata?
Yes, there’s a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Edition. While the Standard Edition only comes with the game, the Deluxe Edition includes some exclusive goodies for fans to enjoy, such as two sets of outfits for Hugh and Diana, a weapon skin, three Diana gestures, background music, and artwork from development. The Standard Edition costs $59.99, while the Deluxe Edition will cost $69.99
Is there a demo for Pragmata?
There is currently a Pragmata demo available on PC via Steam. A console version for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S is set to launch at a later date. The demo, known as Sketchbook, consists of a few combat encounters and some exploration sequences within the lunar station. It’s a good way to feel out the game if you’re on the fence.
Pragmata isn’t the only game from Capcom coming out in 2026, as Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword are expected to release as well. Still, seeing as Pragmata is a whole new idea, it may give it the edge it needs to stand out.
