Capcom Decodes New PRAGMATA Gameplay Details!
Today, Capcom is celebrating the public’s long-awaited first opportunity to go hands-on with PRAGMATA™ at Gamescom 2025. To mark the occasion, Capcom has revealed new intel on the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure title, decrypting more information on the action-packed Hacking gameplay and sharing an assortment of new character and enemy art. As protagonists Hugh and Diana journey to escape the lunar research station, a variety of threats stand in their way. These foes include the Walkers. Humanoid bots based on the M4 series are among Delphi Corporation’s most successful products. The Walkers’ ability to use tools and work alongside humans made them a popular choice for support roles. In lunar environments, the improved M4AM design is capable of handling low-gravity, vacuum-like conditions.
Another powerful enemy players will face is a boss known as the SectorGuard. The SectorGuard, from product line S-35, is a large-sized bot developed by Delphi’s military manufacturing division. It was built mainly to protect sensitive or high-priority installations. The spherical modules located on both its arms are fitted with guided weaponry and low-gravity ballistics. Players will need to utilise Hugh’s thrusters to dodge its attacks so Diana can hack its defences.
During the fight against the SectorGuard, players will encounter a new Hacking ability called Overdrive Protocol. As its gauge fills up, Diana unlocks the ability to simultaneously hack the surrounding enemies, forcibly opening up their armour and temporarily halting their movement. It’s a powerful attack, but it’s also one that is best used carefully at the right moment!
To enhance Diana’s Hacking abilities, players can also collect Hack Nodes from the environment to use in combat. Activated by passing through them in the Hacking Matrix, these consumable nodes temporarily lower enemies’ defences. Hack Nodes add a layer of complexity to the game’s unique combat system and provide more opportunities to make strategic decisions in the heat of battle. One of these Hack Nodes, the Decode Node, can lower enemies’ defences for a limited time. Stay tuned to learn more about how the gameplay experience will continue to evolve.
Fans can go hands-on with PRAGMATA this week at Gamescom 2025 and other upcoming events, including PAX West 2025 in Seattle, Washington starting from August 29 to September 1. Players can also get a feel for the Hacking mechanics by visiting the official website and trying a special “Hacking Minigame” that can be played in web browsers.
PRAGMATA launches in 2026 for PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X.
