PRAGMATA

 
Capcom developed and published PRAGMATA as a fully original IP. It released on April 17, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The setting is a near-future lunar research facility. A rogue artificial intelligence named IDUS has seized complete control of the station. You play as Hugh, a spacesuit-clad investigator, and his unlikely companion Diana — a young android with extraordinary hacking abilities — as they fight to survive and find their way home to Earth.
About the Game
PRAGMATA is built around the cooperative dynamic between two characters controlled simultaneously. Hugh handles the shooting, movement, and physical combat. Diana, meanwhile, rides on Hugh’s back and applies her hacking abilities to enemies and the environment in real time. Furthermore, the game requires players to manage both characters’ skill sets at once — making it a genuine multitasking challenge rather than a simple companion system. Enemies controlled by IDUS are mechanical and tactical, demanding precise positioning and smart use of Diana’s hacking interrupts to disable threats efficiently. Additionally, the station environment plays an active role, with IDUS manipulating doors, hazards, and facility systems against the player throughout. Capcom described PRAGMATA as a new type of action-adventure mixing puzzle and action elements in equal measure. Consequently, it sits closer to a genre hybrid than a traditional third-person shooter. Reviews at launch were broadly positive, with particular praise for the character writing and tightly designed encounter structure.
Wesentliche Merkmale

Dual-Character Simultaneous Combat System: Hugh and Diana operate as a single unit, but each contributes distinct abilities at the same time. Hugh shoots and moves while Diana hacks enemies and interacts with the environment independently. Furthermore, mastering the rhythm of managing both characters is the core skill the game builds across its campaign. As a result, PRAGMATA feels fundamentally different from any other Capcom action game in the catalogue.
Real-Time Hacking with Diana: Diana’s hacking is not a menu system — it fires in real time during combat and exploration. She can disable enemy systems, override facility functions, and reveal hidden paths while Hugh holds off incoming threats. Moreover, creative use of hacking opens entirely new combat solutions not available through shooting alone. Consequently, learning Diana’s toolkit is as important as mastering Hugh’s weapon handling.
Hostile Lunar Station Environment Controlled by IDUS: The rogue AI IDUS actively weaponizes the lunar research station against the player. It seals corridors, activates automated defenses, and reroutes facility systems in response to the player’s progress. Furthermore, the station design reflects IDUS’s intelligence — layouts feel deliberately hostile rather than simply abandoned. Therefore, navigation itself becomes a puzzle layered on top of every combat encounter.
Story-Driven Campaign with Strong Character Writing: The relationship between Hugh and Diana drives the narrative forward across the full campaign. Their dynamic evolves meaningfully as the story progresses, with nuanced characterization that surprised many reviewers given the game’s action focus. Additionally, the near-future worldbuilding and lunar setting give Capcom a visually distinct canvas unlike any of its existing franchises. Nevertheless, the pacing stays action-forward rather than leaning into slow cinematic stretches.

Rückkehr
Also a third-person shooter set in a hostile alien environment with strong atmosphere and mechanical depth. However, it is a roguelite with procedural loops rather than a linear story-driven campaign. Furthermore, it has no companion hacking system or dual-character mechanic.
Players who want a punishing, atmospheric third-person shooter with roguelite replayability rather than a narrative campaign.


NieR: Automata
Shares the android companion theme, near-future sci-fi setting, and philosophical character writing. Nevertheless, it uses a hack-and-slash action system rather than shooter combat. Moreover, its open-world structure contrasts sharply with PRAGMATA’s contained station environment.
Players who want a deep narrative action game centered on android characters with more emotional and philosophical storytelling depth.


Resident Evil 5
Another Capcom action game built around a two-character cooperative dynamic with shared resources and complementary roles. However, it is a co-op focused experience rather than a single-player dual-control system. Additionally, it uses horror rather than sci-fi as its primary tone.
Players who want a Capcom co-op action experience where two characters carry distinct responsibilities across a linear campaign.
