Easily one of the best new IPs from Capcom
Capcom was looking like a true giant with its gaming lineup in 2026 and it has already proven to everyone with the success of Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata that it might be one of the best publishers in the industry.
Their new sci-fi adventure IP recently had an impressive debut on PC and it has already become Capcom’s highest-rated title on Steam. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Pragmata’s excellent reviews on Steam
Since the launch of the game, it has recorded an impressive 97% positive user rating on Steam, which exactly showcases the players & gamers’ love and support for this new IP from Capcom.
According to SteamDB data, this game currently holds a rating of around 93.87%, which also places it among Capcom’s top-performing titles on the platform.
This game now sits behind the heavy hitters like Resident Evil Requiem and iconic Resident Evil 4 Remake, which remains the studio’s highest rated releases on Steam. For a brand new IP, this early performance is a great achievement.
Long journey with delays
Despite all the success, Pragmata had a very challenging development cycle. This game was first announced in 2020 and was slated to release in 2022.
However, multiple delays pushed the game back to 2023 and eventually the game launched in 2026. Later, it was revealed that the delays were necessary to fine-tune the gameplay experience.
The major focus was on balancing the dual character system that allows players to control both Hugh and his android little companion, Diana.
Capcom wanted to ensure smooth mechanics and seamless switching between two characters required additional time, and they seem to have pulled this off in a brilliant way.
Conclusion
Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem broke many records for them and was a huge success for the franchise. But now, a new IP has also entered the chat and fans are even calling this game to be a strong contendor for Game of the Year 2026.
Capcom has already released three amazing games and now they will be shifting their focus towards the last major AAA title, Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
