Pragmata Previews Receive Strong Praise, With Reviewers Calling The Delays Worthwhile

Expert Verified By

Capcom Is Going All Out For 2026 Releases!

Story Highlight
  • Pragmata has finally been given a new release date of 2026, following a four-year delay.
  • Capcom showcased the gameplay to a select group of people, and the impressions thus far have been positive.
  • Pragmata features a hacking mini-game, different weaponry, fluid movement, and more, offering a unique gameplay experience.

First unveiled all the way back in 2020, with a release for 2022, Pragmata practically vanished from Capcom’s release slate. 

Fast forward to 2025, Capcom dropped a gameplay trailer for the sci-fi title at the recent Summer Game Fest. It seems that the game is now finally ready for release, as the developer invited a few media outlets to check out the game for themselves in a closed presentation.

The early impressions for Pragmata are quite surprising, offering a fresh and unique take on the sci-fi genre, with hacking serving as a distinct mini-game.

Why it matters: For a title to be delayed by this margin is never an indication of good things. However, unlike most titles, Pragmata was able to bounce back from this setback and is looking to be a significant highlight in Capcom’s 2026 releases.

Pragmata pits the lead protagonist, Hugh Williams, who is an astronaut, against hostile AI robots after a space mission goes wrong. Fighting as an astronaut against hostile robots would be pretty tricky, unless you have backup of your own.

This is where Diana comes into play, a humanoid robot who rides on Williams’ back. Players can control the android and hack enemy robots to expose their internal circuitry, allowing Williams to finish them off.

The hacking side game runs in parallel with shooting as a mini-game, appearing on the right side of the screen.

Gunplay being a core part of the gameplay is incredibly satisfying, as per the previews. Among the weaponry for Hugh is a standard pistol called a Grip Gun, a shotgun-like Shockwave Gun, and the Statis Net to trap enemies.

Movement is absolutely solid, and Hugh has some weight feel on it, but can still glide and jump around objects, quickly manoeuvring away from enemies. Moreover, puzzles are another major aspect of the game, granting access to hidden areas.
