Pragmata's Mysterious Nature is Still Its Biggest Selling Point

gamerant.com:

Capcom has kept itself busy in 2022 thanks to everything from Monster Hunter Rise DLC to the confirmation of a new Street Fighter game. New Capcom IPs are on the rise too, as the announcement of Exoprimal indicates. However, one new Capcom title hasn't been nearly as visible in 2022 as fans of the company might like: Pragmata. The sci-fi game was originally planned for a 2022 release, but before 2022 even came around, the game was delayed into 2023. That early delay sent a clear message that Pragmata still needed a lot of work, and Capcom was ready to sacrifice promptness in order to make the game succeed.

At the moment, Pragmata is extremely difficult to describe. Capcom says that it's a game about a dystopian sci-fi world on the moon, which sounds compelling, but Pragmata's highly abstract trailers have shed little light on its broader story. In other words, Pragmata is a total mystery. To a certain extent, that air of mystery is working in the game's favor, but the drawbacks can't be underestimated either. Pragmata belongs to an entire generation of games announced well before their release that may have been better off continuing their development process behind closed doors.

Every Pragmata Trailer Revealed So Far

In a way, the mystery around Pragmata is a good thing. The handful of clues that Capcom has provided about the game suggest that Capcom is actively trying to create a sense of mystique around Pragmata, keeping fans interested by means of the game's endless possibilities and unanswered questions. The masked protagonist, strange young girl, and elaborate technology at the center of Pragmata are definitely notable talking points, and speculation about the game helps to keep excitement alive.
