Fifteen years ago, Capcom released “Ghost Trick,” a game that masterfully blends narrative and gameplay, showcasing the innovative spirit of the company in an industry often dominated by formulaic titles. Created by Shu Takumi, known for the beloved Ace Attorney series, Ghost Trick invites players to step into the shoes of Sissel, a ghost on a mission to uncover the mystery of his own death while saving others from peril. This unique premise not only hooks players but also allows for a rich exploration of character and story.

Capcom is set to revolutionize the gaming experience with its advanced RE Engine, which now includes cutting-edge long hair technology, thanks to the upcoming game Pragmata. This innovation marks a significant leap forward in character design, allowing for more realistic and visually stunning representations of characters, particularly those with long hair, like the young android girl, Diana. The RE Engine, which has powered over 20 Capcom titles since its debut in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, is designed to be versatile, accommodating various game genres from survival horror to fighting games.

Pragmata is shaping up to be a fascinating addition to the gaming landscape, merging puzzle-solving with traditional shooter mechanics in a way that feels both fresh and engaging. During my recent hands-on session at Gamescom 2025, I discovered that this game, set against the backdrop of a distant lunar base, challenges players to think strategically while also keeping their reflexes sharp. The gameplay revolves around a unique mechanic where players complete mini-puzzles to unleash devastating attacks on enemies.
