Capcom announces Pragmata, its first original franchise in 8 years

Capcom has announced a new intellectual property called Pragmata.

Releasing for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC in 2022, the adventure game is set in a dystopian near-future on Earth’s Moon.

“Our development team is hard at work on this brand new game title, making full use of new next-gen tech, such as ray-tracing, to create a breathtaking and immersive sci-fi setting like never before,” Capcom said.

“We’ll be sharing additional information on Pragmata in 2021.”

Pragmata will be Capcom’s first completely new IP made for consoles and released worldwide since 2012’s Dragon’s Dogma (2016’s Megami Meguri was a Japan-only release).

Capcom corporate officer Ryozo Tsujimoto told VGC last year that the company is “not giving up” on the idea of creating new original game series, despite its recent focus on core franchises like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil.
