If I had a nickel for every time in 2026 that Capcom left a fake URL in a game which somebody snapped and used for free advertising, well… you know where this is going. After a Half-Life YouTuber snatched up a URL hidden in Resident Evil Requiem, somebody has done the same in Pragmata and put that link to even more absurd ends.
In Pragmata’s second major area, you explore what’s essentially a 3D-printed facsimile of New York City, complete with giant animated billboards all over the faces of the buildings. There are loads of silly Easter eggs around the area, including goofy posters for what looks like Resident Evil meets Ghosts ‘n Goblins meets Doom titled “Resident Devil.”
But the real weird one is an ad labeled “Earth Hidden Gems,” which apparently “you won’t want to miss.” I did miss this one on my playthrough, but luckily other players – like streamer Swii – did spot the scrolling message at the bottom of the billboard, which reads “a Wesker production com.” It’s not exactly properly formatted, but it’s easy to read it as a URL.

And if you head to aweskerproduction.com right now, well, you’re going to see some magnificent wonders. By which I mean some of the most absurd Wesker and Leon memes the internet has to offer, all presented in a nonstop scrolling format. Also just a normal image of Ada Wong, for whatever reason.
The bottom of the site notes that it’s a “fan-made project” completely disconnected from Capcom, and the Wayback Machine history only goes back to April 19, a handful of days after Pragmata’s launch. It seems this is indeed exactly the same situation we faced with Resident Evil Requiem a few weeks ago, where a fan found an in-game URL, registered it themself, and now gets free advertising every time a curious player types that address into a web browser. Or whenever a bewildered game journalist writes about it, I suppose.
