Capcom Easter Eggs You Can Find in Pragmata

Capcom owns many successful game franchises, including Resident Evil, Mega Man, and Monster Hunter. Another promising title is Pragmata, which is largely driven by its character, Diana. However, we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

It’s common for game developers to include hidden nods to other games, and Pragmata is full of them. The developers sprinkled references to other Capcom titles throughout the game, some easy to spot and others much more subtle.

Let’s find all the hidden references to other Capcom games in Pragmata. If you’re interested, you can try to discover them on your own, too!

7. Hugh as Mega Man

On Cabin’s Face

When Pragmata was first shown, a lot of people thought it might be a new Mega Man game. Many assumed it wasn’t a brand new series, but actually part of the existing Mega Man franchise from Capcom.

The game is a brand new title, but the developers included a fun nod to a popular character. If you look closely at Cabin, you might spot a retro, 8-bit version of Hugh appearing on its screen inside the shelter.

This version of the main character, done in an 8-bit style, strongly resembles Mega Man – it shares his movements and even his sound effects. It’s a fun reference to the game’s original planned direction.

6. A Wesker Production

Look at the Billboards

If you’re familiar with the Resident Evil games, you likely know Albert Wesker. He was a major villain throughout the series, first appearing in the original game, playing a key role in several others, and serving as the main enemy in Resident Evil 5.

One section of the Pragmata game, called the Mass Production Array, is designed to resemble New York City. When you arrive, you’ll notice lots of billboards, but one on the left side is particularly noticeable.

Keep an eye out for amazing, lesser-known places – there’s a unique sign pointing them out! What’s particularly cool is that the sign itself is created by “Wesker Productions.”

5. Resident Devil

Very On the Nose

The Mass Production Array includes another reference to Resident Evil. While exploring the shopping district, you’ll eventually find a café.

There’s a poster on the wall that’s clearly inspired by the original Resident Evil 3. It’s for a game called “Resident Devil 3,” and the similarity is a playful reference to the classic title.

This hidden detail will definitely remind you of Nemesis, the main villain, and his relentless pursuit. Luckily, Capcom didn’t carry that over into Pragmata.

4. Ghouls ‘N Ghosts

No Goblins

Okay, so I was digging around in the Mass Production Array and stumbled across something cool. Turns out Capcom made a game called Ghosts ‘n Goblins! Honestly, I hadn’t even heard of it before, but it’s apparently an easter egg hidden in the game. Pretty neat find!

Walking through this impressively designed imitation of New York City, you might spot a poster for a show or movie based on Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, a nod to the classic Ghosts ‘n Goblins games.

Also, one game in the series is titled Ghouls n’ Ghosts. It was popular on a variety of systems when it was released, such as the PlayStation 2 and arcade machines.

3. Umbrella Corps

In Plain Site

As a long-time Resident Evil fan, it’s pretty clear Umbrella Corporation is the ultimate villain. They’re seriously shady, responsible for a ton of bio-terrorism, and basically supply bioweapons to anyone with enough money. You see their logo everywhere in the games, so it’s impossible to forget just how central they are to everything that goes wrong!

So, in Pragmata, you spend the game collecting these things called REMs for Diana, and I just found out something kinda cool! One of them, the beach umbrella, isn’t just a cute little beach item. It’s actually a hidden symbol for this group called the Umbrella Corps. Pretty neat, right?

The umbrella’s red and white stripes are very distinctive. Luckily, it appears the ‘Umbrella’ company wasn’t involved in what happened on the moon – it was a separate organization.

2. Hunting Monsters

In a Game

As a big fan, I’m really excited to hear that Pragmata will be like Resident Evil in a cool way! Apparently, you’ll find tons of documents and emails hidden throughout the game that fill you in on everything that happened on Cradle before the story even begins. It’s awesome to get that extra backstory and piece things together!

These emails offer a glimpse into the lives of people on Cradle before the disaster. For example, one email found in the Lunum Mines details a cafeteria incident and suggests security might begin searching everyone’s personal devices.

The scene concludes with a message urging players to delete the in-game application before problems arise, ending with a farewell to their monster hunting history. This is a clear reference to Capcom’s popular Monster Hunter series, and notably, Monster Hunter is actually playable within the Pragmata game itself.

1. Referencing Itself

It’s Real

Pragmata was originally announced in 2022, and many thought it would come out in 2023. The developers initially revealed the potential release year by simply writing the date on a piece of paper.

The original document later proved the date had been altered. After that, Pragmata fell into a period of troubled development, with a lot of uncertainty surrounding the project. Many people thought the game had been scrapped altogether.

Fortunately, the project wasn’t scrapped, and the team successfully finished it. They announced the final release date in the same article. As a fun nod to the development process, they included an easter egg that says, “It’s Real, 2026.”
