April’s mid‑month slate is crowded, headlined by Pragmata, Capcom’s new AAA sci‑fi shooter dropping Friday, April 17. Players pilot Hugh and the wandering android Diana through a silent lunar research base where a mysterious ore fuels 3D‑printed miracles. The AI‑run facility turns hostile, forcing a tense, shoulder‑mounted combat experience that promises a fresh twist on space horror.

Kick‑off titles add variety: Tap Tap Loot turns typing drills into a cat‑hero tap‑fighting frenzy on April 13, while Windrose enters early access April 14, offering PvE piracy with ship‑building and souls‑lite combat. Wednesday sees Industria 2, a narrative FPS set in a parallel boreal world overrun by an insatiable AI. Thursday’s Mouse: P.I. For Hire blends 1930s rubber‑hose animation with first‑person shooter action.

Rounding out the week, The Ember Guardian lands Friday, delivering a roguelike strategy where players guard dwindling hope in a post‑apocalyptic wasteland, recruiting workers, building camps and repelling night‑time hordes with upgradeable weapons. Additional releases such as Replaced, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, Opus: Prism Peak and Sintopia round out a diverse lineup that gives indie and AAA titles equal footing on Steam.
