Today marks the release of Capcom’s latest title Exoprimal, a multiplayer dino-shooter. With this game dropping, it’s time for players to check out what they are in store for and then look ahead as to what is coming in the post-launch roadmap. Of course, some players have already prepared given their first experience happening during one of the many play test sessions.
The Dino Survival mode will include a “Final Mission Selection” feature that offers players three matchmaking options: PvP, PvE, and random. In PvP games, two rival squads of Exofighters go head-to-head at the end of matches. This decides which team wins and who gets fed to the Raptors! Meanwhile, PvE is all about speed. These missions generally do not involve direct PvP. Instead, the team to complete all objectives first will be granted permission to survive. As for the random option, this provides adventurous players with a small experience bonus. Exofighters are also free to change their preference settings and mix things up at any time.
Looking forward, Capcom is supporting Exoprimal with seasonal content updates that introduce major new features.
Season 1 commences alongside the game’s launch and will usher in a new game mode two weeks later on July 28, 2023. Savage Gauntlet is a co-op experience that challenges teams of five players with late-game PvE missions that rotate weekly and can be replayed for higher rankings and rewards. Then, on Aug. 17, 2023, Exoprimal will roll out its first major title update, introducing 10 Alpha variant Exosuits to the roster all at once. These alternate designs feature completely different weapons from their standard counterparts, presenting new ways to enjoy both Dino Survival and Savage Gauntlet.
Season 2 kicks off in mid-October 2023 and will feature the next title update, which packs in the downright fierce Street Fighter 6 collaboration that was teased last month. Players can look forward to other additions too, including a new map and Final Mission, plus more rigs and modules.
In January 2024, Season 3 will see the armory expand once again with Beta variant Exosuits. Alongside these shiny new sets of armor, this update will summon a new foe to battle, the Neo Triceratops. A collaboration is also in the works with the Monster Hunter series that will launch as part of Season 3.
Exoprimal is now available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
