Capcom's Mysterious Sci-Fi Game Pragmata Surpasses 1 Million Sales Milestone
Capcom's highly anticipated sci-fi themed action-adventure game Pragmata has passed a significant milestone in sales figures. According to the official statement made by the development team, the game has reached 1 million copies sold worldwide. In a special message released to celebrate this success, the game's main characters, Diana and Hugh, thanked the fans for their support. Diana's cheerful dialogue in the message, "Hugh! I heard that over a million people bought our game! Hey... Do you think we're famous on Earth now?" was met with great interest by fans on social media.
The success of Pragmata becomes even more meaningful when considering the game's rather painful and mysterious development process. First announced at the 2020 PlayStation 5 reveal event, the title drew attention with its mesmerizing visuals and mysterious atmosphere set on the Moon. However, the game missed its initially planned 2022 release date, was subsequently delayed to 2023, and finally, it was announced during the Capcom Showcase in June 2023 that it had been delayed indefinitely. The sales success following this long and uncertain wait proves the players' trust in and curiosity about this new intellectual property (IP) from Capcom.
Set in a dystopian future on the surface of the Moon, Pragmata invites players to share in the story of Hugh, a heavily armored astronaut, and Diana, a young girl with special abilities. Brought to life with Capcom's own powerful RE Engine, the title makes full use of next-generation graphics technologies and real-time ray tracing features. Blending sci-fi elements with an emotional character bond, the game managed to get a passing grade from both critics and players, especially with its character designs and environmental details.
The 1 million sales figure significantly increases the potential for Pragmata to secure a permanent place in Capcom's portfolio and evolve into a new series. The global success momentum the company has achieved in recent years with giant brands like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter has been further diversified with this new and original IP. The community is now excitedly waiting for possible downloadable content (DLC) for the game or new announcements regarding where the story will evolve. This success is seen as the freshest proof that there is still a huge place for original stories and new brands in the gaming world.
