In a bold move that has sent ripples through the gaming community, Hideaki Itsuno, the legendary director behind iconic titles like Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma, has established a new studio in Osaka. This venture not only marks Itsuno’s departure from Capcom after over three decades but also signals a fresh start for the creation of original AAA IPs, a rarity in the current gaming landscape. With a team composed largely of Capcom veterans, including narrative designer Toshihiro Nakagawa and artist Daigo Ikeno, the new studio is poised to leverage their collective experience to craft something truly special.

Capcom has taken a bold step into uncharted territory with its upcoming title, Pragmata, showcasing a unique blend of puzzle-solving and shooting mechanics. The recently unveiled gameplay reveals players engaging in a dynamic mini-game where they hack robots while simultaneously dodging their attacks. This innovative approach not only adds layers of strategy to combat but also sets Pragmata apart in the crowded gaming landscape. Set in a near-future lunar research station, players will navigate the challenges alongside Hugh, a combat-ready spaceman, and his android companion, Diana.
