Double down
The beauty of uber-promising PS5 shooter Pragmata is its “rub your tummy pat your head” gameplay gimmick, featuring dual protagonists Hugh and Diana.

Preview PS5's Most Promising 2026 Shooter Pragmata Is Starting to Take Shape
Dot hack
We’ve played PS5 shooter Pragmata three times now. It’s honestly quite rare these days to get so much hands-on time with a game prior to release, but we think Capcom’s desperate to communicate what sets its latest shooter apart. While on the surface it may look like yet another third-person action affair, as we’ve pointed out on a...

What else is there to say about Pragmata? We recently had the opportunity to play an extended gameplay demo of the upcoming Capcom shooter, and we still think it’s D’s knees. (D for Diana, the little android girl who’s on your back. Geddit?! Whatever.) The point is this is...
News Here's Your Best Look Yet at PS5's Ultra Promising Pragmata
A sensational shooter
Pragmata is, as far as we’re concerned, one of the more promising upcoming PS5 games. The long-in-development shooter has a very unique gimmick, where you need to complete simple puzzles during combat in order to hack your enemies. This brings down their defences, making them more susceptible to your attacks. But while we...

The game, originally announced alongside the PS5 and delayed heavily in the years since, revolves around one crucial gameplay mechanic: hacking. As the hulky spaceman...

Dovetailing protagonist the central mechanic
Pragmata lives, and will release on the PS5 next year. It’s a remarkable conclusion for the game which was announced alongside Sony’s current system in 2020, as many had expected it to be quietly abandoned like Deep Down during the PS4 era.

News PS5 Title Pragmata Finally Reappears Only to Confirm an Indefinite Delay
Prag-nada
Back before the PS5 released, one of the games featured in its major pre-launch showcase was Capcom's Pragmata. Roughly three years later, we've still yet to see anything meaningful about the game.

News Pragmata PS5 Page Is Just as Vague as Its Reveal Trailer
Capcom's mystery title
Ask us to describe PlayStation 5 project Pragmata and all we could probably come up with is a couple of words. Space? A digitised cat? A man in a spacesuit? Yeah, something like that. The new IP from Capcom hasn't exactly explained itself ahead of a 2022 release window and the official PS5 page from Sony doesn't do too much of...
