Capcom has a stacked slate of upcoming games–from Resident Evil Requiem to Onimusha: Way of the Sword–but sci-fi adventure Pragmata looks like an interesting and original new IP from the company. At Gamescom 2025, Capcom showed off a new look at Pragmata and how players will have to juggle hacking with fast-paced gunplay to survive a space station full of hostile robots.
One of the android models standing in the way of protagonists Hugh and Diana are the Walkers. These are humanoid robots that can use tools and work alongside humans, and are designed to be both incredibly durable and capable of functioning in low-gravity environments. Players will also encounter SectorGuards, massive military robots designed to protect sensitive or high-priority installations and equipped with an arsenal of guided weaponry and low-gravity ballistics.
Hugh and Diana can use a new hacking ability called Overdrive Protocol to take out these intimidating bots. During battle, a gauge will fill up and will eventually give Diana the ability to simultaneously hack the surrounding enemies, forcibly opening up their armor and temporarily halting their movement. Diana’s hacking abilities can also be enhanced by collecting Hack Nodes from the environment during combat, and passing through them in the Hacking Matrix will lower the defenses of an enemy.
You can check out new screens of the game below, as well as character art showing off some high-level techwear and all the cool mechanical details of the robots you’ll be fighting as you attempt to escape the space station. Pragmata will launch in 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“The tension between the gunplay and hacking feels like fertile soil for a distinct third-person shooter experience, with lots of room to expand with both different suites of weapons and new wrinkles to the hacking puzzles,” Steve Watts wrote in GameSpot’s Pragmata preview. “I’m especially curious to see what a late-game combat encounter would look like, once Hugh and Diana have amassed a wide array of weapons and hacking tools, and the enemies have grown more sophisticated. That potential alone makes this game one to watch.”
