Pragmata (2026)

Well, PRAGMATA lives but it's been delayed indefinitely. I don't know what to make of that. An indefinite delay is better than giving us another date to look forward to that could also end up resulting in a delay but it's also a troubling thing to see. An indefinite delay amounts to a developer saying, "Dude, I have no idea when we're going to be done." That doesn't strike me as hopeful considering this game was due out a while ago upon its first reveal.

I would always rather a developer take their time. I have no problem waiting for however long it takes for PRAGMATA to reach us as the finished product it was envisioned to be. My apprehension with indefinite delays is that those usually result in games being canceled. Or at least, that's what it feels like to me.

So here's me saying, "Capcom, take as long as you need. Just don't throw this one in the trashcan."

I've got my Diablo IV crack to tide me over until the next big releases, as well as Aliens: Dark Descent coming out next week.

Also picked up a very good gaming PC from a coworker the other day. It runs The Division at 60 FPS on max settings. I'm still going to do most of my gaming on console but at least I'll have a way of getting Starfield if it turns out to be the game everyone hopes it will be.

Entering a sort of gaming drought, in which there just aren't a whole lot of games coming out in the near future that I'm psyched about (although very excited for Resident Evil 4 remake on Friday!). We were totally spoiled with the last several months, so many amazing releases.

June will rock because Aliens Dark Descent is coming out and as an absolute diehard of Alien/Aliens, I'll gladly preorder that and play it to hell and back when it drops. I'm excited to learn how to play that game too, I don't think I've ever really sank my teeth into an RTS; at least, not since I was a wee lad.

Another game I really want to know more about is Pragmata. We know next to nothing about it, and yet, it was announced nearly two and a half years ago when the PS5 was revealed. There's something about it that intrigues me. Probably the mystery of simply not knowing. Capcom just makes great stuff all around too, so I've got reasonably above average expectations for what's in store with that one.

There are a lot of games on my wishlist but I'd say those two are the ones I'm really dying to see more of (Aliens Dark Descent and Pragmata). Honorable mentions include Amnesia: The Bunker, Slitterhead, Ubisoft's Avatar game, Massive's Star Wars game, and of course, Armored Core VI.
