Capcom brings back Pragmata, only to delay it indefinitely

While we theorize that Capcom’s mysterious game, which has been a long time in development, Pragmatics, could make an appearance at the Capcom Showcase, many did not even remember. Well, Pragmata did appears with a new trailer, but it was almost done just to remind people that it exists.

The trailer was very brief, with less than a minute of new footage. But what it did reveal was that the game was delayed indefinitely.

The whole point of the trailer, it seems, is the message from the development team at the end. But the footage also establishes what lies ahead, with the boy asking, “Are we there yet?” To which the protagonist replies, “Sorry, kid. We still have a ways to go.”

“It is with a heavy heart that we must further postpone the release of Pragmata,” the message reads. “Our team is currently working hard to make the best game possible, but we need more time.”

We do get a glimpse of the action in this one though, and it looks like there will be a mix of melee and gunplay as we navigate through what looks like a space station and protect the girl.

It’s pretty telling that we don’t even have a release goal, and hopefully it doesn’t become this generation’s Deep Down, another Capcom vaporware.

Pragmata was initially unveiled at a PlayStation Showcase in the summer of 2020, where it was announced for a 2022 release. Last year, Capcom pushed the game back to 2023, but didn’t mention it until this week’s showcase.
