Capcom has officially put to rest the fan theories suggesting that its upcoming sci-fi game, Pragmata, is a secret revival of the beloved Mega Man franchise. Producer Naoto Oyama confirmed that Pragmata is a completely new IP, despite the intriguing design similarities between its robotic sidekick, Diana, and the iconic Mega Man character. This revelation comes as a relief to many who have been eagerly awaiting new content from Capcom, especially after the long hiatus since Mega Man 11.

Capcom has unveiled an intriguing glimpse into its upcoming title, Pragmata, showcasing a unique blend of puzzle-solving and shooting mechanics that promises to redefine gameplay in the sci-fi genre. The first gameplay reveal, which aired during a recent live stream, highlights players hacking robots through a mini-game while simultaneously engaging in combat—a dual challenge that could elevate the gaming experience to new heights. Set in a near-future lunar research station in crisis, players will step into the shoes of Hugh, a skilled spaceman, alongside his android companion Diana, who intriguingly resembles a human child.
