Capcom has announced that the free Sketchbook demo of its upcoming third-person shooter, Pragmata, has achieved over two million downloads. The game has also received over two million wishlists, illustrating a significant level of anticipation for this release.
Set in a near-future in which the discovery of Lunam Ore has revolutionized material replication through Lunafilament, the story begins when contact with a lunar research station is lost.
Players control Hugh Williams, a specialist tasked with investigating the blackout. After a quake separates him from his team, Hugh is alone until an android resembling a young girl saves him. Named Diana, this advanced Lunafilament-based construct becomes Hugh’s ally to escape the lunar base.
Combat in Pragmata is built upon the synergy of Hugh’s weaponry and Diana’s hacking. A panel appears during battles, where players use a cursor to disable enemy defenses, exposing the enemies and allowing Hugh to deal great damage with his firearm.
Exploration is also reliant on both characters. Diana’s hacking comes into play to bypass locked systems and environmental puzzles, while Hugh can activate his thrusters to traverse otherwise inaccessible terrain.
Pragmata will be released on April 17, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
