【GAME DETAILS & QUICK FAQ】

Exoprimal is an online, team-based action game that pits humanity's cutting-edge exosuit technology against history's most ferocious beasts – dinosaurs. Exosuits are grouped into different roles, and players will pilot these exosuits to hold firm against overwhelming dinosaur swarms in online-only, team-based action game modes.

QUICK FAQ
  • The game requires a Capcom ID to play (If you've played Street Fighter 6 or Resident Evil RE:Verse, you've already made one)
  • The game is Online Only and supports Cross-platform play (Cross-progression is NOT supported)
  • Cross-Party Support (Inviting friends from other platforms to your squad) is NOT supported (A fix is being looked into)
  • The Campaign is unlocked via matches played (Every few matches played unlocks progress in the story)
  • Campaign progress dictates variety of missions (The farther you're in the Campaign, the more variety of Maps, Gametypes, Dinos, and Objectives you'll see)
  • Playing in a party with members who are not as far as you in the story will PAUSE your story progress (You can fill your bar to the next Campaign moment but will be unable to partake in the Campaign moment until your party catches up to you or you play solo)
  • PVP matches are now optional (You will always be racing against an enemy team to complete objectives but it's your choice if you want the final round to be PVP now)

【STORY】

The year is 2040…Sudden dinosaur outbreaks have engulfed the globe
in a crisis that threatens humanity's very existence.

Yet all hope is not lost. The corporation Aibius has developed a hyper-advanced AI called Leviathan that can predict the location of future outbreaks.
This technology, along with Aibius's revolutionary powered suits, or exosuits, gives humanity a fighting chance to stem the tide of the saurian swarms.
Exosuit pilots, otherwise known as exofighters, are in high demand. Take the exofighter aptitude test and join the ranks of Aibius's heroic pilots in their fight to stave off the extinction of the human race.


【ROLES


ASSAULT
Assault exosuits focus on dealing damage to enemies with close, medium, or long-range attacks.
Although exact loadouts differ, each assault exosuit is equipped with weapons and abilities tailored to its effective combat range.
Use the best weapon for the situation and eradicate whatever stands in your way.

03.png


TANK
Tank exosuits specialize in protecting their allies by drawing enemy attacks and absorbing damage.
Whether they're holding back a massive horde or stopping relentless dinosaur attacks, tank exosuits will form your team's first line of defense.

04.png


SUPPORT
Support exosuits use a variety of abilities to ensure the team's survival.
While the ability to repair allied exosuits is most common, support exosuits are also equipped with a range of buffing and debuffing abilities.
Support exosuits use these abilities to improve a team's combat effectiveness and accomplish objectives even faster.

05.png


RIGS

Rigs are additional pieces of equipment for exosuits.Rigs grant exosuits additional abilities, but only one may be equipped at a time.
For example, the Zephyr exosuit excels at close quarters combat but has trouble with foes that attack from long-distance. Equipping it with the Cannon rig will enable Zephyr to use a long-range laser. Or, equip Roadblock with the Aid rig to provide healing and create a formidable front line of defense. Players can experiment with different combinations of rigs and exosuits to find their ideal playstyle. Both rigs and exosuits can be changed at any time.

06.png


【DINO SURVIVAL】

In Dino Survival, two squads of five race to complete objectives. Teams must follow Leviathan's directives and complete the mission before their rivals to win.
Some situations pit players against one another in direct combat, and others require players to band together with their rivals to take down a major foe.
In Dino Survival, the missions change based on players' progression through the game. The experience will be different with each match, even in matches with familiar surroundings and objectives. Players can unlock story sequences by playing Dino Survival and also earn rewards such as experience points to increase player and exosuit levels.

DINOSAURS
Dinosaurs, once the most fearsome and powerful creatures in the animal kingdom, are no longer history.
However, traveling through spacetime via the vortexes has mutated these beasts and ramped up their ferocity to all-new heights.
Humanity must rely on its ingenuity and its most powerful weapons – exosuits – to respond to this crisis.

07.png


NEOSAURS
Neosaurs are mutated dinosaurs with unusual appearances and abilities.
Dinosaurs are imbued with a highly unstable energy when they cross through the vortex barrier after passing through spacetime.
This energy is responsible for the ferocious transformation many dinosaurs undergo.
Neosaurs possess an extremely high concentration of this energy, granting them unusual appearances, abilities, and attacks.

I'm actually pretty psyched now that they made the weird PVP aspect voluntary.

Bring on the Mega Man exo, Capcom!

I definitely wanna see crossovers with Mega Man (exos) and Monster Hunter, Resident Evil (swap dinos for Monsters and BOWs) in the future. There's quite a few of their IPs they could pull from. A Bloodia exo would be amazing as well. Heck a whole range of Cyberbots exos would be amazing.

This is exactly my kind of game and beta was fun! I will for sure do the campaign and then either the gameplay loop caught me or I will move on. Really glad this is on GamePass

Summary from the presentation earlier:
  • Starts off with a story overview - still kinda nonsense really lol but you see boss fights against superpowered exosuits and it shows Leviathan summoning dinosaurs on a space station with a craft closing in in pursuit
  • A look at the general mechanics and the exosuit customisation
  • Explanation of how choosing between PvP and PvE works - 'After a certain amount of progress' in Dino Survival you can select between PvP, PvE and Random final missions. PvE means you're just competing against the other team in the sense you need to finish missions faster than them. Random means you could have PvP or PvE missions and gives you an experience boost. (Side note: Would recommend trying the PvP before writing it off, I didn't like the sound of it but ended up really enjoying it in the beta)
  • New seasons every 3 months with title updates along the way
    • Season 1 starts from launch. Savage Gauntlet (hardcore time attack mode with rotating missions and leaderboards) will be available from July 28th. First title update will be coming August 16th which adds 10 Alpha Variant exosuits with different weapons
    • Season 2 starts October 2023 and will add the Street Fighter collab (SF character skins for the exosuits), a new map, new exosuit parts and a new final mission to Dino Survival
    • Season 3 starts January 2024 and will contain Beta Variant exosuits, a Neo Triceratops boss fight and a Monster Hunter collab (no details on what that is, 🤞 for boss fights against MH monsters)

Are y'all planning on maining a suit? If so, which? I really liked Skywave as far as healers go, but damn I also enjoyed the sniper DPS way more than i was expecting.

I didn't play the beta or whatever, but it's Game Pass and looks fun, so I'll try it out!

There's a little bit of NEVEC in this design and I love it. Gimme a Lost Planet collab, please, geez

Game looks pretty fun - interesting idea to lock story progress behind online gameplay, but I guess that makes sense if it's an online game.

I wanted to be in on this but I've been burned by these always online full priced games way to many times .

Sorry Capcom.

Super fun gameplay though in the betas. I might jump in at a discount or a massively fun game event/crossover

Not impossible. Most of this team is prior lost planet folks. It's honestly closer to being a LP4 than anything else.

Really looking forward to jumping into this on Friday. I was sold after playing the first open beta. Patiently waiting for the preload to go live on Xbox.

Even though I'm playing a million other games right now, I'm jumping in on Friday. Would've bought this, for sure, but thanks to Gamepass, I don't have to!

I had way too much fun with Roadblock in the betas, definitely going to be sticking with it to start with. Blocking off hordes and punching dinosaurs in the face felt so good

How is this as a purely PvE game? Something like, dunno, Killing Floor 2? What If I just want to shoot hordes with random prople?

Assuming you toggle off the PvP bit in the end rounds, the game works like this:

You "race" against another team trying to take out waves of Dinos fastest. I dont recall ever seeing them on the map outside of the beginning and end parts, so its basically like your racing against the clock.
Sometimes they will get a special dinosaur which letes them invade your "world" which is pretty fun (I thought so at least).

The story actually progresses whether you win or lose matches. So there doesnt seem to be that much worry if your mainly aiming for story completion.
