Capcom Extends 2026 Hot Streak With 2 Hits, Pairing Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata

2 articles · Updated · Game Informer · Jul 21

Summary

  • Capcom’s 2026 lineup is being defined by two successful releases—Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata—that showcase its ability to deliver both franchise sequels and new IP.
  • Masachika Kawata, a producer on both games, embodies that approach as Capcom reuses ideas, technology and talent across very different projects to balance fan expectations with experimentation.
  • Resident Evil remains the company’s anchor as the series marks its 30th anniversary, giving Capcom a durable blockbuster base while newer titles test fresh concepts.
  • That mix of long-running brands and risk-taking has helped Capcom stand out in a volatile AAA market, where many rivals struggle to sustain either consistency or innovation.
