Pragmata Launch Details

In a rare move for the industry, Capcom has accelerated the timeline for Pragmata. Initially unveiled in 2020, the enigmatic sci-fi title is now slated to arrive seven days sooner than previously announced. During the presentation, the developer showcased the game’s unique blend of third-person exploration and puzzle-heavy combat, while also debuting a selection of premium pre-order costumes.

Pragmata is scheduled for an April 17 debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and Nintendo’s upcoming Switch successor. Notably, the Switch 2 version will be accompanied by a dedicated Diana amiibo figure.

Mega Man: Dual Override

Series veterans Shingo Azumi and Hiroyuki Minamitani took the stage to discuss the creative process behind Mega Man: Dual Override, the next mainline entry in the legendary franchise. A significant portion of the update focused on a fan-collaboration contest that saw over 10,000 boss submissions from the community. The development team has narrowed the field down to six finalists: Valve Man, Juggle Man, Recycle Man, Cactus Man, Cleanser Man, and Sweeper Woman. The gallery above provides a look at the concept art for these contenders along with silhouettes of the remaining Robot Masters.

The Street Fighter 3 powerhouse Alex is making his triumphant return to the ring. He is scheduled to join the Street Fighter 6 roster on March 17 as the centerpiece of the Year 3 Character Pass. In addition to the new fighter, Capcom teased the upcoming “Outfit 4” collection, featuring beach-ready swimwear designs. Fans were given a first look at the new aesthetic for Elena and Dee Jay, both of whom sport vibrant, sun-soaked attire.
