Capcom wants to keep creating new franchises following the success of Pragmata
, by Thibaut
There's no doubt that Pragmata has been one of the unexpected hits of 2026. Despite getting delayed several times since its announcement in June 2020, the single-player action-adventure title sold over 2 million copies in 16 days.
During a Q&A session following the announcement of its financial results, Capcom was asked about the possibility of its teams releasing other new franchises in the near future. And it appears that the Japanese publisher intends to continue in this direction.
" The creation of completely new IPs is an important initiative that supports our sustainable growth, and we intend to continue pursuing it. In addition, the development and sales expertise that we have cultivated through our work on new IPs has also contributed to the success of Pragmata, and we will continue to leverage this knowledge in our future business operations."
Capcom also noted that the budget allocated to the production of Pragmata was significantly lower than that of the company’s major franchises. Thus, even taking into account the game’s successive delays, Capcom does not expect the title to have a negative impact on its future financial results.
