But wait, Capcom didn't stop there at The Game Awards 2025. They also teased Mega Man™: Dual Override arriving in 2027, and the return of Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil™ Requiem – talk about fan service! The event recognized Capcom's hits with nominations for Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Wilds™, Capcom Fighting Collection™ 2, and the Devil May Cry™ Netflix series. Rock band Evanescence delivered a stunning live rendition of "Afterlife" from the series, dropping the news that Season 2 drops on May 12, 2026. And to top it off, stars from the upcoming Street Fighter™ film – like Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Cody Rhodes as Guile, and Jason Momoa as Blanka – stole the show with an award presentation and a tantalizing movie clip. It's a blockbuster lineup that highlights Capcom's enduring creativity.
Now, for those new to the scene, let's break down PRAGMATA simply: Capcom's fresh intellectual property is a sci-fi action adventure centered on innovative hacking mechanics. Set in the not-too-distant future on a lunar outpost, it follows two unlikely heroes – space traveler Hugh and the mysterious android Diana – as they battle swarms of hostile machines to find a path back to Earth. In this single-player tale, you'll switch between characters, each bringing unique skills to the table, like strategic hacking to outsmart enemies or precise shooting to clear paths. It's all about cooperation and clever problem-solving, making it accessible yet challenging for gamers of all levels.
About Capcom, they're a global powerhouse in interactive entertainment, crafting experiences for consoles, PCs, handhelds, and more since 1983. Their legendary franchises include Resident Evil™, Monster Hunter™, Street Fighter™, Mega Man™, Devil May Cry™, and Ace Attorney™, with operations spanning the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Tokyo, headquartered in Osaka, Japan.

But here's the controversial twist: In an era where some argue that exclusive titles keep platforms competitive, PRAGMATA's broad multi-platform release – including the Switch 2 – might just blur those lines and redefine accessibility. What do you think? Does bringing big sci-fi action to nearly every device democratize gaming, or does it dilute the special feel of console-exclusive experiences? And with hacking at its core, could this inspire real-world tech debates on AI and robotics? Share your thoughts in the comments below – are you team Hugh and Diana, or is there a counterpoint I'm missing? Let's discuss!
