Capcom revealed more about its dinosaur battle action game exoprimal during a livestream on Monday showcasing a variety of activities, mission types, and new exosuits that players will equip to battle waves of raptors.

During the Capcom Showcase live streamGame 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.
