Huge Success for Capcom's Sci-Fi Epic Pragmata: 1 Million Sales in the First 2 Days!
Capcom's sci-fi action-adventure game Pragmata, first announced in 2020 and having sparked great curiosity in the gaming world ever since, has made a storming debut. Released simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 on April 17, 2026, the title surpassed 1 million sales worldwide in just its first two days. This tremendous success proves just how much excitement the game generated among fans after its years-long development process.
Reaching this point was actually a very long and arduous journey for the game. As you may recall, Pragmata was initially planned for 2022, but was later delayed to 2023 and then to an indefinite date. Capcom managed to win over players by announcing these decisions, made to focus on quality during the development process, through videos where one of the game's main characters, a little girl named Diana, held a sign that read "I'm sorry." Today, we see that this patient wait has paid off handsomely for both the company and the players.
Pragmata offers a unique experience by taking players into the dystopian and technological atmosphere of the Moon in the future. The story revolves around a protector wearing a heavy armored spacesuit and a little girl named Diana who possesses special abilities. Developed with Capcom's powerful RE Engine, the game delivers a visual feast by fully utilizing the hardware power of next-generation consoles and the Nintendo Switch 2. Combining sci-fi elements with an emotional bond, the title has managed to receive full marks from both players and critics alike.
This sales success also strengthens Capcom's potential to add a new giant brand alongside its massive franchises like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. Industry analysts predict that with the momentum the game has gained, it could easily surpass the 5 million mark by the end of the year. If you want to explore the mysteries of the Moon and enjoy this unique atmosphere, Pragmata is currently available on all platforms. Let's see how Capcom will expand this new universe in the future with anime adaptations or expansion packs?
