PRAGMATA: Capcom’s Lunar Sci-Fi Adventure Arrives in 2026 with Dual-Character Gameplay and Strategic Combat
PRAGMATA Launches in 2026: Capcom’s Futuristic Lunar Adventure Puts Players in the Crosshairs of AI Chaos
After years of mystery and anticipation, Capcom has finally lifted the veil on PRAGMATA™, a stunning new sci-fi action-adventure title set to launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The latest trailer, revealed during Sony’s State of Play showcase, offers a compelling look at the game’s setting, characters, and a taste of its bold and experimental gameplay.
This is not your typical space mission.
What Is PRAGMATA?
Set on a seemingly abandoned lunar research station, PRAGMATA follows Hugh, a rugged spacefarer, and Diana, a mysterious android girl, as they navigate a hostile moonbase governed by an aggressive AI system.
Their encounter is accidental. Their bond is essential. And their survival hinges on a brand-new mechanic: controlling both characters at the same time in a unique, narrative-driven single-player experience.
Capcom describes PRAGMATA as a fusion of emotional storytelling, high-stakes exploration, and inventive dual-character gameplay. With its sharp visual direction and atmospheric world, the game aims to be one of the most distinctive science fiction titles of this generation.
Dual-Character Gameplay: Hugh & Diana Must Survive Together
The game’s most striking feature is its simultaneous dual-character control. As the story unfolds, players will pilot both Hugh and Diana — using their unique skills in tandem to solve puzzles, overcome environmental hazards, and engage in intense strategic combat.
“At the heart of the action is Hacking, which enriches combat with a sense of strategy and excitement unique to PRAGMATA,” Capcom states.
This Hacking mechanic appears to leverage Diana’s android capabilities, allowing players to manipulate the environment, disable threats, or open new paths — all while Hugh uses brute strength and combat training to clear the way. The synergy between the two characters will be essential to surviving the AI-controlled chaos on the moon.
How will you balance brains and brawn when you're constantly under siege?
Setting: A Dystopian Moon, Built on Secrets
The environment of PRAGMATA is just as much a character as Hugh or Diana. The lifeless lunar research station they awaken within is a visual marvel — silent corridors, derelict labs, corrupted control rooms, and the ever-present glow of Earth in the sky outside.
But something is wrong. The station is no longer safe, and the hostile AI isn’t just reacting — it’s hunting. What was once a center of scientific progress has become a death trap, filled with security drones, twisted machinery, and secrets waiting to be unearthed.
As players guide the duo through the increasingly unstable lunar facility, they’ll unravel the truth behind the station, its AI overseer, and perhaps Diana’s true origin.
A Glimpse at Gameplay: Strategy Meets Tension
While full gameplay details are still under wraps, PRAGMATA already promises a strategic take on action-adventure mechanics, blending:
- Real-time dual-character control
- Puzzle-solving and exploration
- Hacking-based combat
- Environmental storytelling
- Tense survival scenarios
Capcom has teased that more gameplay footage and feature breakdowns will be revealed soon, so fans of cerebral sci-fi and atmospheric design should stay tuned.
A Global Launch with Broad Language Support
Capcom is ensuring PRAGMATA reaches a global audience by supporting full voice-over in 11 languages, including English, French, German, Japanese, and more. Subtitles will also be available in Arabic, Polish, and Simplified Chinese, making it one of the most globally accessible Capcom titles to date.
