Capcom Pushes Pragmata Back To 2023

Capcom has a brand new IP called Pragmata. And it’s one that remained in the shadows ever since its announcement just before the start of the current console generation. But as with so many other games, it’s getting delayed. But Capcom made the announcement in such an adorable video that you may just be glad that it got delayed, because otherwise this video would not exist.

You can watch the announcement video, if you can call it one, for yourself. It’s a simple one, showing the girl we saw from the initial Pragmata trailer. And the card she is holding basically says all that needs to be said.

But if you rather read than watch, Capcom says on the announcement post that the team working on Pragmata has decided to push the game back to 2023 “to ensure this will be an unforgettable adventure”. Which doesn’t really mean much, since no one besides Capcom knows what kind of adventure it even will be like. But at least the detail on the character model is amazing.

All that being said, this Pragmata delay video does also set up some crazy expectations for Capcom. Even with the amazing RE Engine, and two whole years left to work with, will the full game look this good? Here’s hoping, but if recent releases are telling us anything, it’s probably best to not hold our breaths for it.

Capcom: Lady Dimitrescu Is Just Under 3m Tall

One of the fandom’s favourite things about the upcoming Resident Evil Village is, oddly, one of its villains. Specifically, the gargantuan Lady Dimitrescu, whose height is one of her most defining features. Now, Capcom has announced her official height, though not exactly accurate figures.

The official Resident Evil Twitter account shared the thoughts of Tomonori Takano, the art director for Resident Evil Village. And according to the statement, she is 2.9m tall, but that figure includes her hat and heels. You could remove 10 or 20cm from that height to make up for what could be very extreme heels. But even then it still doesn’t take her immense height from here.

Takano also acknowledges that Lady Dimitrescu has gotten far more attention that the Resident Evil Village team anticipated. And honestly, it’s still quite the wonder that she got that much attention in the first place. But it’s good to know that the art team is happy with the reception.

Resident Evil Village is set to be released in 7 May 2021. A Maiden visual showcase is currently available for the PS5. Another demo that is a better representation of the game is also planned, but no word on when it will be out just yet.

Capcom Is Selling Chris Redfield’s Wool Coat From Resident Evil Village For RM6229

A couple of years ago, Capcom made available for purchase the trench coat worn by Dante in Devil May Cry 5. It was a Japan exclusive thing, and exorbitantly expensive. But now, the company has another piece of clothing from an upcoming game, Resident Evil Village. And while it’s not as expensive in comparison, it looks even more undeserving of its price tag.

In another Japan-exclusive deal, Capcom is selling the wool coat worn by Chris Redfield in Resident Evil Village. And the company is asking for JPY159731 for it (~RM6229). Which is ridiculous, as it is literally just a wool coat. It has nothing going for it – no unique print, nothing hanging off of it, nothing. It’s as plain as you saw it in the trailers. It doesn’t even have buttons.

What it does have though is four sizes to choose from. These range from medium, large, extra large, and an “Original Model”. The last one is the largest of them all, and is the one that was 3D-scanned into Resident Evil Village. This implies that it’s the size a real-life Chris Redfield would wear. The other sizes were adjusted to fit the proportions of more average people.

And if you thought that the price of the wool jacket was not high enough a price, don’t fret. Capcom has a bunch of other items in its “Complete Set Collectors Edition” for Resident Evil Village. This comes with the aforementioned coat, a Chirs Redfield statue, 1/6 miniature replicas of gear you’ll find in-game and an art book. This is priced at JPY192500 (~RM7508).
