Publisher and developer Capcom has unveiled a brand-new trailer for Exoprimal, the dinosaur-themed action team-shooter coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam sometime in 2023. The new trailer introduces some of the dinosaurs and neosaurs players will encounter in the world of Exoprimal, and you can see them for yourself below.
The trailer shows several dinosaurs in Exoprimal, including Velociraptor, Pteranodon, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Triceratops, and the ever-famous T. Rex. Neosaurs, which seem to be evolved and more powerful versions of these dinosaurs, were also introduced. Gas neosaurs appear to have gasbags on their backs that also act as a weapon. Sniper neosaurs release globs of goo from afar. Evoker neosaurs summon minions to fight alongside, and pyro neosaurs are flyers that can spew fire with their wings. Neo versions of both the Ankylosaurus and T. Rex were also shown, both much more menacing than their regular counterparts.
Gameplay-wise, Exoprimal is very reminiscent of the action in the Earth Defense Force series, but with a more serious tone and several aspects lifted directly from Monster Hunter, another series by Capcom. Players can utilize a barricade shield that defends them against a horde of dinosaurs, as it appears that mysterious portals can summon them in enormous numbers. Larger dinosaurs like the T. Rex can also apparently grab and eviscerate players, which is somewhat reminiscent of how monsters can tackle you in Monster Hunter, especially in Monster Hunter World.
Players excited for Exoprimal have a chance to play an early build of the game, as there is still an ongoing registration for closed network test sign-ups on PC. Two closed tests were already conducted: the first on July 22, and the second just ended earlier today, July 25. A third one will be held on August 7, so if you missed the first two, you can sign up for a final chance via the official site.
Exoprimal can now be wishlisted on PC via Steam, also the platform for the currently ongoing network tests.
