It is truthful to say that Pragmata has been fairly the success for Capcom because it launched earlier this 12 months. It sped previous 2 million copies offered in its first 16 days, and it sounds just like the studio may be keen to return to the IP down the road. It is too early to say what’s subsequent for the collection, after all, however that does not cease us from questioning what the longer term would possibly maintain, so it was solely a matter of time earlier than the large sequel dialogue would pop up.
That is the subject that was put to Pragmata’s director, Yonghee Cho, and producer, Naoto Oyama, in a latest interview with GamesRadar. Naturally, neither had something concrete to say on the matter — Oyama gave the standard response of being “targeted on Pragmata itself” — however that did not rule out sequel speak utterly.
“In fact I would like to see a sequel,” Cho answered, “however I am not the one one who decides, so sadly I can not actually remark past that”.
In response to GamesRadar, the PR workforce current within the interview inspired Cho to make clear that this was his “personal private opinion on the matter”, with producer Oyama laughingly including, “Please do not take that line out of context”.
And out of context we can’t take it. That is removed from a affirmation {that a} sequel is within the works — heck, Cho makes clear that he is not the one one with a say on the matter — however nonetheless, it is good to listen to that the director could be on board if (and that is a giant if) the chance ought to present itself down the road.
We definitely hope that there is extra to see from Pragmata in years to return, as a result of we had an exquisite time with the sport on Change 2 final month. “The adventures of Hugh and Diana stand as one other wonderful Change 2 port from Capcom,” we mentioned in our 9/10 overview, “and hopefully mark the start of a brand new blockbuster franchise”.
Let’s simply let the devs have just a little break earlier than diving straight again in, lets?
