The director and producer of new Capcom game Pragmata talk about the chance of the new sci-fi game getting a sequel in the future.
The developers behind Pragmata have expressed that they would like to make a sequel to the game. The exciting new IP has already been a hit for Capcom, and Pragmata fans want more.
Pragmata took a very long time to reach players after initially being revealed all the way back in 2020. Leading up to its release, there were concerns that Pragmata would be canceled, or that it would be disappointing after such a build-up to it. However, Pragmata sold two million copies after being on the market for just over half a month, indicating that the game has been anything but a failure for Capcom.
Pragmata Team Would Like to Make a Sequel
In a recent chat with GamesRadar, Pragmata director Yonghee Cho and producer Naoto Oyama were asked about the possibility of a sequel, and if they’d want to return to the new Capcom IP to make it. While the team emphasized that there is currently no plan to produce a Pragmata sequel, both members would be happy to see one. Oyama explained that he didn’t know what the future holds, and that he’s mostly focused on getting as many people to play the game as possible. Cho, however, was more straightforward, stating that he’d “love to see a sequel,” but that it’s ultimately not up to him. Both emphasized that their statements were personal opinions, and not an indication that Pragmata 2 is happening.
It’s understandable that Capcom wouldn’t already have a sequel to Pragmata in the works, considering that the game entered the market as a question mark. There was no guarantee that the game would be a hit, especially as a brand-new IP that had suffered from long delays before its launch. While there’s a big gap between Resident Evil Requiem selling 7 million copies in its first 17 days and Pragmata moving 2 million, Resident Evil Requiem has a huge and established franchise behind it, and recurring popular characters fans wanted to see. If a Pragmata sequel happens and is done well, it’s entirely possible that it could outperform its predecessor.
