Not-E3-E3 is finally here, withPlayStationkicking off the festivities for the next few days. Ahead of Friday’sSummer Game Festlive show and Sunday’sXboxShowcase, Sony has kicked things off in style.
During its 40-minute show, Capcom and Sony re-revealedPragmataand it’s due for release in 2026.
Pragmata Gets New Trailer At The June 2025, PlayStation State Of Play
After its initial reveal in 2020,indefinite delay in 2023, and years of silence since, Pragmata resurfaced during PlayStation’s State of Play. Announcedaround the same time as Returnal, Kena Bridge of Spirits, and Ghostwire Tokyo, it’s the first time we’ve seen any footage of the game since its official reveal period.
The trailer showed the main protagonist in a damaged spacesuit meeting a young girl with blonde hair, presumably setting the duo up for a classic father-and-not-daughter adventure, like we’ve seen many times over with the likes ofThe Last of UsandDeath Stranding.
The title will see our protagonist in outer space, tackling AI-gone-wrong enemies in a futuristic world complete with sci-fi guns, giant robots, and laser swords.
At the end of the trailer, Capcom references the game’s various delays, jokingly showing a crossed-out 2022 and 2023 before exclaiming, “It’s real,” with a 2026 date and an XD emoji.
Pragmata will mark Capcom’s first new IP since 2024’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and only its third since the turn of the century, the other being Exoprimal. Despite this, Capcom has been one of the top developers during this time, with titles like Dragon’s Dogma, Resident Evil, and Monster Hunter propelling the company to previously unseen levels.
From what we’ve seen, the game seems to be pretty far along. Let’s hope it doesn’t get pushed again.
