Pragmata is a satisfying sci-fi shooter with an intriguing double act

Capcom’s odd-couple sci-fi action game, Pragmata, is almost here. At SGF 2025, I finally got to steer Hugh (the human) lumbering around in a military spacesuit, with the adorable android, Diana piggybacking along. First announced in 2020 during the PS5 reveal stream, Pragmata is set on a lunar base, where an industrial mishap turns security droids hostile, while lines of communication back to Earth have been severed. The USP here is how you fight your threats: by teaming up with a small synthet
