Warning: There’s been a crisis detected. You might call it a dino crisis, but Capcom won’t. Exoprimal may look like the long-awaited revival of the Resident Evil spinoff series that replaced zombies with dinosaurs for a new twist on survival horror, but it’s not. It’s a new IP entirely.
We see a few different kinds of suits and then the vortex itself, a pink orb appearing in the sky above the city. It pops open and, in a rather comedic fashion, begins spilling out dinosaurs from hundreds of feet in the sky. They all pour out, flopping in the air, crashing into the streets below. Somehow they survive this fall and begin rampaging.
Considering the online nature of this game, which we’ll detail below, we don’t suspect the plot to be a major component in this game. Gameplay Now onto the good stuff. We got a lot of gameplay in this reveal, though mostly quick cuts. What we do know is that Exoprimal is a team-based, third-person action title where you pilot a unique exosuit to fight hundreds upon hundreds of dinosaurs. Think something like Earth Defense Force or Dynasty Warriors, only with the suits from something like Anthem perhaps. Each suit has its own look and toolset.
What makes this co-op game a bit more unique, aside from the premise, is that the main gameplay will also have a competitive twist to it. Not between you and your other squad members, but your squad competing against another team to complete the mission first.
