Capcom: "The likelihood of a Pragmata sequel is high"

In just three months, Pragmata has sold in 2.5 million copies, and Capcom already thinks it might end up being a "pillar franchise and a source of longer-term revenue."

This week, Capcom released its quarterly report, which, as usual, consisted almost entirely of good news. Among other things, it included confirmation that the first instalment in the new Pragmata game series, which was released in April, has already surpassed 2.5 million copies sold.

These are such strong numbers that one might suspect Capcom will want to do more with the series, with a sequel being a likely next step. And that seems to be what will happen, as Bloomberg now reports that Capcom CEO Yoshikazu Shimauchi has stated "the likelihood of a sequel is high" and that Pragmata is well-positioned to become a "pillar franchise and a source of longer-term revenue."

In addition to being an entertaining action-adventure (read our review here), Capcom believes that the well-written and charming android Diana is one of the reasons the game has become so popular.
