Pragmata reveals its first gameplay details
During the recent Capcom Spotlight Showcase, we got our first proper reveal at Pragmata gameplay, something we have not seen in the 5 years since the game was first revealed. Check out the trailer for the game below.
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’ defences. By manoeuvring the cursor through this panel, she can take down their armour and provide openings for Hugh to blast enemy weak points with his arsenal of weapons. This system will challenge players to overcome multisided situations in the heat of battle.
Exploration is also a team effort. Diana can utilise 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 game is coming sometime in 2026, but you can wishlist it today on Steam and PlayStation 5. The game will also come to Xbox Series X|S when it releases as well.
