What is Exoprimal about?

Exoprimal is the latest horde-based game that aims to stomp onto players’ screens.

Exoprimal is a team-based action game that sees two teams of five players take down hordes of Dinosaurs in futuristic battle armor. However, only one team will survive. The game takes place in 2043, when strange Vortexes have begun to open, flooding cities with deadly dinosaurs. 

It’s up to players to put an end to the prehistoric threat and find out exactly what is causing this monstrous invasion. The dino crisis, if you will, is being caused by a massive AI called Leviathan, who is conducting experiments on humans by continuously pitting them against dinosaurs.

The game’s second trailer implies that Leviathan, or the corporation that created him, is the main antagonist of the game, and will need to be taken down by the players.

Exoprimal is all about taking down hordes of dinosaurs with futuristic mech suits.

Exoprimal has a number of mechs that players can utilize in order to defeat the toothy terrors that dominate the environment. Each Exosuit has a specific role in combat that can complement your squad’s tactics.

For example, the Deadeye uses its ranged assault weapon to barrage foes safely from afar, while the katana-wielding Zephyr uses its razor-sharp swords to slice and dice its foes. Players will need to master the intricacies of each Exosuit and swap between them to formulate the best plan of action for each scenario.

Capcom is hosting a Closed Network Test for Exoprimal to help prepare the game for launch. This will let players take part in the game’s main multiplayer campaign and provide their feedback to the developers.
