Capcom has officially put to rest the speculation surrounding its upcoming game, Pragmata, confirming that it is not a secret revival of the beloved Mega Man franchise. This revelation comes after fans noted the striking similarities between Pragmata’s robotic sidekick, Diana, and the iconic Mega Man character, as well as thematic elements that hinted at a crossover. However, producer Naoto Oyama has assured fans that Pragmata is a completely original title, distinct from any existing Capcom IP.

Former Capcom director Hideaki Itsuno is making waves in the gaming industry with the launch of his new studio in Osaka, which aims to create original AAA titles. This bold move comes after over 30 years at Capcom, where Itsuno directed iconic games like Devil May Cry and Dragons Dogma. By assembling a team of veterans from the beloved franchises, he is setting the stage for a fresh approach to game development, focusing on trust and collaboration among his team.

Capcom has unveiled an intriguing glimpse into its upcoming sci-fi title, Pragmata, showcasing a unique blend of puzzle-solving and shooting mechanics. This innovative gameplay, revealed in a recent video, has players engaging in a mini-game to hack robots while simultaneously dodging and shooting them. This dual-action approach promises to deliver a fresh experience that sets Pragmata apart from traditional shooters. Set in a near-future lunar research station, players will take on the role of Hugh, a combat-ready spaceman, alongside his android companion, Diana, who intriguingly resembles a human child.
