When rumours of Exoprimal<\/em>\u2019s existence first began to circulate, many wondered if it could be a new entry in the long-dormant Dino Crisis <\/em>series. Artwork depicting dinosaurs and humans battling them made many Dino Crisis <\/em>fans excited; could this finally be the sequel they\u2019d been waiting for? Eventually, it turned out that Exoprimal <\/em>was a very different beast to the game they\u2019d expected it to be, and it seems as though this made disappointed fans unfairly disposed against Capcom\u2019s new shooter from the off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not too long until we finally get our hands on Exoprimal <\/em>now, and it\u2019s finally starting to shake off the shackles of, well, not being Dino Crisis<\/em>. With that said, though, what exactly is Exoprimal<\/em>? We know what it isn\u2019t, but what will the game actually offer to players? Let\u2019s take a look at everything we currently know about Exoprimal<\/em>, including its release date, the trailers we\u2019ve seen so far, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em><\/strong>release date – when can you play Capcom\u2019s dino shooter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em>is set to arrive on PC and consoles, including last-gen consoles, on July 14th. Network tests have been held over the last year or so to determine the strength of Exoprimal<\/em>\u2019s online features, too, so you know that when the game does launch, it\u2019ll likely be a robust and solid experience. There was also an open beta in March, so Exoprimal <\/em>has been put through its paces prior to release. Let\u2019s hope that was enough to ensure a smooth launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em><\/strong>platforms – where can you play the game?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking that Exoprimal <\/em>is only going to arrive on PC and current-gen consoles, but that\u2019s not the case. You will be able to play Exoprimal <\/em>not only on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X\/S, but also on PS4 and Xbox One. Time will tell whether the game\u2019s performance will be up to scratch on last-gen consoles, as that\u2019s been something that developers have struggled with recently (although this doesn\u2019t apply so much to Capcom, admittedly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em><\/strong>trailers – what footage has been released so far?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first Exoprimal <\/em>trailer we got to see was released in March 2022. This reveal trailer<\/a> introduced us to the high-tech world of Exoprimal<\/em>, which combines robotic exoskeleton suits with dinosaur horde-slaying. It was around this time that people began to wonder whether Exoprimal <\/em>was part of the Dino Crisis <\/em>universe, especially since the project enjoys the involvement of Dino Crisis <\/em>producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the reveal trailer, Capcom released a developer overview<\/a> giving us more information about Exoprimal<\/em>, its world, and the gameplay mechanics it\u2019ll employ. That trailer showed us that Exoprimal <\/em>will be a live-service-style PvPve (player versus player versus environment) game and that it will focus exclusively on multiplayer gameplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new gameplay trailer<\/a> was then released in June 2022, showing how moment-to-moment gameplay will work in Exoprimal<\/em>. The following day, a 15-minute extended gameplay preview<\/a> was unleashed on the world, showing a full match of Exoprimal <\/em>and how teams will work against one another while completing PvE objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, the most exciting element of Exoprimal <\/em>is arguably its dinosaurs, and that\u2019s likely why the next big Exoprimal <\/em>trailer gave us a brief look at those dinosaurs<\/a>. It looks like you\u2019re going to need coordinated tactics to bring them down, and there will be a large variety of dinosaurs to battle as well, so hopefully, Exoprimal <\/em>shouldn\u2019t feel too stale even if you\u2019ve been playing it for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capcom had hitherto neglected the story of Exoprimal<\/em>, so it\u2019s only right that a story trailer<\/a> should be released a couple of months after the dinosaur overview, giving us a look at the world and characters of the game. Many players will likely choose not to engage too closely with the story elements of the game, but it\u2019s nice that some thought has been put into them at any rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a couple of months ago, Capcom unveiled a release date trailer<\/a> for Exoprimal<\/em>, allowing us to see when the game is going to be released. This one\u2019s more of an overview-style victory lap trailer for the game; if you want to know more about it, you\u2019ll have to play it for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em><\/strong>features – what kind of game is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exoprimal <\/em>is a multiplayer-focused third-person shooter in which you\u2019ll team up with other players to battle both dinosaurs and rival player teams. You\u2019ll complete a series of objectives involving said dinosaurs while racing the other team to be the first to complete those objectives. Here are some of the gameplay features you can look forward to in Exoprimal<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Exosuits with different roles. <\/strong>There will be three roles available for players: assault, tank, and support. As you\u2019d imagine, assault is all about damage, while tanks soak up punishment and support players help their teammates. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Gear to augment loadouts. <\/strong>Although exosuits are geared towards certain roles, you can offset their weaknesses with different \u201cRigs\u201d. These pieces of equipment may, for instance, give a short-range exosuit a long-range sniper weapon, or might give a tank the chance to heal themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Dinosaurs. <\/strong>Hey, who doesn\u2019t want the chance to kick some dinosaur butt? The main gameplay mode, Dino Survival, pits you and your friends against massive dinosaur enemies; you\u2019ll sometimes need to work with rival teams to put them down. Neosaur mutations also ensure that there will be unusual dinosaur variants to battle, so you\u2019ll have to put strategies together to overcome these special foes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
