Capcom’s Long-Lost Game Pragmata Is Alive and Headed for 2026

Capcom's Long-Lost Game Pragmata Is Alive and Headed for 2026

Capcom just kicked the doors back open on Pragmata, and let’s just say—things got weird.

After years of total radio silence, the sci-fi mystery game that once teased a space man and a spooky child has finally reappeared. During the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play, Capcom dropped a brand-new trailer, and it’s giving cryptic-core energy all over again.

Also: it’s not coming out anytime soon.

The trailer ends with the words “Target 2026,” which, for those doing the math, means we’ve still got a long two years to wait. But for a game first announced in 2020, this counts as a full resurrection.

Let’s talk about that trailer. It opens with a dramatic spacewalk that goes comically wrong. A character is ejected into space and spins out of control, slamming against a satellite with a brutal crunch that you can feel. Cue the black screen. Cue the worry.

But then? A little girl, who looks like she walked off the set of a futuristic Matilda reboot, appears—yes, again—behind the glass of what looks like a space station. She’s joined by a voice saying, “You’re alive.”

If you’re getting Kojima-lite vibes, you’re not alone.

Then comes the kicker: “Target 2026.” That’s it. That’s the update. No release date, no gameplay demo, no details about who these people are or what the actual game is about.

Still, the internet’s buzzing. As TheGamer reported in their June 3 article, this is the first real update on Pragmata since its multiple delays. Capcom initially aimed for a 2022 launch, then 2023, and finally delayed it indefinitely in 2023 with a heartfelt handwritten note from the dev team. That note said the game needed “more time to ensure it will be an unforgettable adventure.” A bold promise.

Since then, Pragmata has become gaming’s version of Bigfoot—rare sightings, lots of confusion, and a devoted cult following convinced it’s real.

Now, with this trailer, we know it’s not dead. We just don’t know what it is yet.

There’s no clear plot. No confirmed gameplay mechanics. No confirmation on whether it’s open-world, linear, or something in between. The only thing we really know is that Capcom is still committed—and they’re still being weird about it.

And weird? Weird can be good.
