After an anti-trailer a few summers ago, today’s State of Play gave us our first real look at Pragmata, a new science fiction IP from Capcom. The trailer mainly showcases the relationship between the protagonist and a mysterious girl with technological powers who rides on his back, but it opens with a mysterious trailer for a fictional tech company called Delphi. You can watch it for yourself below.
The game appears to be a third-person action game, and in the footage shown today, we see that you play as a man in a futuristic astronaut suit – think NASA body with an Iron Man mask. In a mostly-isolated space station on what appears to be Earth’s moon, this protagonist has to battle a legion of robots using a pistol and handy gadgets built into his suit, like an attachment that lets him ride up walls, or jets on his waist that allow him to dodge and hover.
The star of the trailer, however, is D-I-03367, better known as Diana, who calls herself a “state-of-the-art Pragmata,” which seems to be another word for a human-like android, capable of hacking and harnessing technology by pointing at it. In the trailer, we see her stun enemies and override doors, which is likely just the tip of the iceberg for her capabilities in the main game.
The trailer ends with what seems like an apology for the last time we saw the game – the note Diana wrote delaying its release is erased and replaced by a new launch window: 2026. Hopefully, that date sticks this time. For more State of Play, check out the reveal for Lumines Arise, the new title from Tetris Effect developer Enhance.
