A public demo for "Pragmata," a new sci-fi action-adventure game from Capcom, is currently being held at "gamescom 2025," one of Europe's largest game shows.
Hacking, a Core Element of Pragmata
Hacking, the game's core element, is expected to be useful in a variety of situations, such as unlocking locked doors during exploration or forcibly deactivating an opponent's weapons.
Overdrive Protocol, a Hacking Ability to Forcibly Deactivate Opponents' Weapons
"Overdrive Protocol" is a hacking ability that can be activated by filling a gauge. It can hack multiple enemies simultaneously to forcibly deactivate their weapons and temporarily immobilize their movement.
How players use this ability is up to them.
Hack Nodes That Give You an Advantage in Combat
When you hack an enemy, a "hacking panel" is displayed.
From here, you can swipe the hacking panel to connect to the green square goal and forcibly deactivate their weapons.
On the way, you can pass through "Hack Nodes," which are displayed as blue and yellow squares. Passing through the blue squares deals more damage to enemies, and passing through the yellow ones gives you an advantage in combat.
Bots That Stand in the Protagonists' Way
Affected by a runaway management AI, they stand in the protagonists' way.
The Walker is a general-purpose M4 series humanoid bot that can provide human-like support.
It seems that models modified for the lunar surface can also operate in low-gravity and vacuum environments.
The Sector Guard is a large S-35 bot manufactured by Delphi Corporation for guarding important locations.
Its left and right arms can be equipped with various weapons, from high-powered ones like guided missiles to low-powered ones, depending on the objective.
New information about the new sci-fi action-adventure game "Pragmata" is being released one after another.
