The developers of Capcom’s new sci-fi action game, PragmataHave said that they did not expect artificial intelligence in real life (AI) to become so popular when they originally write the game that contains an enemy AI.
In an interview with IGN at Tokyo Game Show 2025, spills director Cho Yonghee and producer Naoto Oyama discussed the concept of a hostile AI that took over a moon’s space station and how they did not expect their games to reflect the real world.
“We really couldn’t predict that AI would be so big from where we started from what you see now, but now that we’ve become this huge thing in the real world, we’re looking like, ‘oh, maybe we should have added this or from what you see in AI right now,'” said Yonghee. “So we’re like ‘we should have thought about it.'”
Despite the growth of real life, Oyama insisted that it had no influence on Pragmata‘s story that was decided very early in development.
“We have this kind of idea of AI in the game locked back very early when we released the concept trailer a few years ago,” Oyama said. “And then we felt like what you see in the game basically. And then we really couldn’t predict that AI would be so big right now.”
“Yes,” Yonghee added. “So real life ais progression or development, it’s been so fast that it might be overtaken, what do we have in the game right now. So what you see in the game may not look so amazing than what you’ve compared to real life.”
IN PragmataYou play as spacefarer Hugh Williams, who will work with an Android called Diana to fight the hostile AI that controls a space station and returns to Earth.
As real life went faster than expected, Oyama noted: “We created to be in the near future, but the future has come closer.”
“Yes, just the word ai is getting a little old right now,” Yonghee added. “So maybe at the time when we reach the age or time when Pragmata Taking place, people don’t use the word ai even longer. “
Pragmata Expected to launch in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
