Review Pragmata (PS5) - Brilliant Combat Is the Star of Yet Another Capcom PS5 Hit
To the moon and hack
We've known about Pragmata for nearly six years — or, to put it another way, since before the PS5 even launched. Announced during the initial PS5 showcase event, Capcom's sci-fi action game has been in the works for the console's entire lifespan so far. After such a lengthy development period, the question many will have is...
News Capcom's Pragmata Uses Less Than Half the SSD Space as Resident Evil Requiem on PS5
Pragmatic magic
With storage space a potential headache when it comes to modern gaming, it's always nice to know how much of it any upcoming titles are going to eat up when you install them on your PS5. Obviously, some games are ridiculous, in some extreme cases taking up well over 100 GB. That's not ideal when Sony's console comes with about 825...

Fans have been pointing to various signs that this is the case, mostly...

News Pragmata's Uncanny New York Stage Was Meticulously Crafted By Humans to Look AI-Generated
Robot master
In Pragmata, Capcom's upcoming third-person shooter, you explore a lunar research station taken over by hostile AI, but it won't be all grey corridors and harsh fluorescent lights. One quite different environment that's been shown off is a cityscape that's very reminiscent of New York, but there's something a bit off about it. That is...

"There was so much trial and error"
Pragmata finally releases for PS5 in 2026, and it's taken an awfully long time to get there. In new comments from the developer, we now have slightly more context for why it's taken so long to make.

A sensational shooter
Pragmata is, as far as we’re concerned, one of the more promising upcoming PS5 games.

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.

News PS5 Title Pragmata Finally Reappears Only to Confirm an Indefinite Delay

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...
