Pragmata: New PS5, Xbox Series X, And PC Game From Capcom In Coming In 2022

In addition to Resident Evil 8, Capcom announced a brand-new game called “Pragmata” during the Sony PS5 reveal event on Thursday. Coming in 2022, the sci-fi game largely remains a mystery.

But the reveal trailer, which we’ll post here ASAP, showed a future soldier who was firing some kind of weapon into the air to bring back echoes of people–and cats!–or something of the like.

The trailer begins in New York City’s Times Square, where the soldier is seen connecting with a young girl and a cat before a giant scary machine sculpture thing appears. A satellite crashes down from nowhere, and gravity seems to completely fall apart.

The soldier shoots out a net of sorts to catch the satellite, and both then fly into space. The soldier and the young girl then end up on the Moon, staring back at Earth.

The girl asks, “What is that?” and the soldier responds, “Freedom, our freedom.”

Pragmata will also be released on Xbox Series X and PC.

Reports of Resident Evil 8 going first-person, like Resident Evil 7, cropped up earlier this year, as did reported details about release plans and gameplay details for the resident Evil sequel. The series has seen a number of major new and remade releases recently, including RE7, which shifted the perspective of mainline entries, followed by the acclaimed Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019, as well as the Resident Evil 3 Remake this year, which IGN praised as “a wonderful continuation of Capcom’s latest remake efforts.”

Deathloop Gameplay Shown on PS5

Arkane Lyon’s Deathloop has gotten its first gameplay, shown on PS5.

The gameplay revealed at the PS5 event showed a great deal of stylish violence, as the player-character is hunted across the island they’re stuck on.

The PS Blog has revealed that it will be exclusively on consoles for PS5, with a PC release at the same time. It will release this holiday season, so expect it around the launch of the PS5 console itself.

The story centres on rival assassins, Colt and Julianna. Colt is hunting eight targets, but is stuck in a perpetual timeloop that restarts each time he dies. Julianna is attempting to hunt him down and prevent him from breaking the timeloop. The catch: both assassins are played by players. Yes, it’s multiplayer. As Colt, you can play through missions as you would in Arkane’s other games such as Dishonored, but a player controlling Julianna may temporarily turn up in your game to attempt to stop you in your tracks.

If you’re not a fan of multiplayer, game director Dinga Bakaba assures that Julianna can also be controlled by AI, so the game can be played purely solo.

If you’re a long-term fan of Arkane, the concept is similar to The Crossing, an asymmetrical multiplayer game the developer was working on but was sadly cancelled.

Little Devil Inside Announced for PS5

It’s unclear exactly what kind of game Little Devil Inside is, but the debut trailer shown during the PS5 reveal event shows two stories playing out simultaneously. One part of the trailer is about a knight who is exploring some kind of hostile world, while the other is of an old man living an aristocratic life in Europe.

Demon’s Souls PS5 Remake Announced

Bluepoint Games, the developers behind the PS4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus, has announced its new PS5 game, a remake of the beloved FromSoftware PS3 exclusive, Demon’s Souls.

The long-rumored remake from Bluepoint was officially announced at today’s PlayStation 5 games reveal. Japan Studios is helping Bluebpoint in development.

Back in 2018, Bluepoint said that its next game, another remake, was going to be bigger than its ambitious Shadow remake. And back in one of the earliest PS5 reveals, we learned Bluepoint was in fact working on a PS5 game, however details have remained light since.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/demons-souls-mp4-1591908937957mp4″]

Demon’s Souls debuted in 2009, and while its popularity has not been as widespread as the Dark Souls series to follow, it was still heralded at its release, earning a 9.4 in our original Demon’s Souls review. Demon’s Souls remained popular  among fans long enough to have its online servers exist for years after launch, until the servers were shut off in 2018.

Bluepoint has frequently worked with Sony over the years on a number of remasters and remakes, including Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and Gravity Rush Remastered for PS4. For more on the studio’s last game, be sure to read our Shadow of the Colossus PS4 review.

PS5 Reveal: Demon’s Souls Remake Announced

Sony gave us our first look at a ton of PlayStation 5 games during its hour-long PS5 reveal event, but one of the biggest surprises was saved for near the end: a remake of From Software’s classic Demon’s Souls.

Originally released for PlayStation 3 back in 2009, Demon’s Souls is the precursor to the Dark Souls series. Much like the titles that would follow, the game is renowned for its blend of methodical combat and unforgiving difficulty.

Not many details were announced about the Demon’s Souls remake, but we did get a look at the updated graphics, and Sony confirmed it is being developed by Bluepoint Studios–which handled 2018’s Shadow of the Colossus remake–and Japan Studio.

Demon’s Souls was greeted with critical acclaim back when it first released. We gave the game a 9/10 in our original Demon’s Souls review and said, “This is an uncompromising RPG of the highest order–and a brilliant, atmospheric, and visionary one. It is at once old-fashioned and innovative, a stubbornly difficult dungeon crawler loaded with wholly unique mechanics.”

We got to see a ton of other PS5 games during the reveal event, including Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Resident Evil VIII. You can catch up on more announcements in our PS5 reveal event recap.
