Capcom unveiled a fresh Pragmata trailer titled “World View” during the latest State of Play showcase, serving up a richer sense of place and a more personal look at the game’s lead characters. The footage frames a haunting, near-future metropolis that mirrors New York’s iconic hub—reimagined with 3D-printed geometry and colossal, otherworldly architecture that swallows the skyline.

At the heart of the trailer are Hugh and Diana, an unlikely pair bound by purpose: he’s the human face of the journey, she’s the android partner whose presence hints at deeper systems beneath the surface. Between alleyway retreats and quiet moments of discovery, the trailer teases fragments of Hugh’s past, suggesting that whatever reshaped this city might also be reshaping him.

As the tension escalates, the footage pivots to a high-stakes chase, with an unidentified pursuer driving the duo through that Times Square-like expanse of neon and steel. It’s a snapshot of Pragmata’s tone: dreamlike, ominous, and charged with the feeling that the environment itself is both stage and adversary—an intricate riddle waiting to be solved.

Hands-on now, with big demo numbers

A playable demo is available on the Switch 2 eShop, offering an early taste of what Capcom has in store. According to the company, the trial has already surpassed one million combined downloads across all platforms, pointing to strong early curiosity around this new IP.

What the gameplay suggests

Pragmata fuses agile shooting with a suite of hacking tools that let players manipulate systems and turn threats to their advantage. The partnership between Hugh and Diana looks pivotal—not just narratively, but mechanically—hinting at moments where synchronized abilities, environmental control, and quick-fire decision making are key to survival.

Release date set

Capcom has marked 24 April 2026 for Pragmata’s arrival on Switch 2. With a demo already in circulation and momentum building, expect deeper dives into combat, exploration, and the broader mystery behind this eerie city in the run-up to launch.
