Game Director, Takuro Hiraoka, explained the variety of war games that players will participate in exoprimal, including the main dino survival mode: a PvEvP-like mode where two teams of five compete to complete objectives while battling hordes of dino. There are a number of mission types within Dino Survival, including one that requires teams to protect a VTOL aircraft, one that requires elimination of a specific dinosaur (among hundreds), and one that involves doing things with a giant red-hot hammer be beaten.

Hiraoka also teased an enemy called Neo Tyrannosaurus – which, if we’re guessing, sounds like a very, very, very large dinosaur – and direct player-versus-player components.

All of the game’s dino-crushing action is directed by Leviathan, an artificial intelligence that appears to have a hidden motivation of its own.

exoprimal‘s Game Director also revealed two new Exo Suit roles: Barrage, an attack class that specializes in explosives and has Ghost Rider hair, and Vigilant, another attack class that uses a railgun to fire from a longer range.

tempted player exoprimal‘s Dino Carnage can now register to take part in a network test which will take place on Steam this summer. The test is for Windows PC only and gameplay sessions will take place on July 11th, July 25th and August 7th.

exoprimal will be released sometime next year on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
