Japanese company Capcom is launching “Pragmata” this week, an action game set on a lunar base, marking a foray into science fiction. The title features an astronaut confronting a hostile artificial intelligence, with gameplay blending combat and hacking.
This new project comes at a time of strong growth for the publisher, driven by the success of its major franchises such as Resident Evil. The latest installment in the series has sold several million copies, contributing to strong financial prospects for the current fiscal year.
A bet on innovation in a sector under pressure
Capcom is taking advantage of this momentum to try and develop original franchises, despite some less successful recent attempts. The launch of “Pragmata” is part of this strategy to diversify its catalog while building on its existing successes.
In a context where the video game industry is facing difficulties, with restructuring at several players, Capcom is showing a more stable trajectory. The studio is relying on the quality of its productions and rigorous internal management to support its growth and expand its audience.
