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.
Revealed at the March 2022 State of Play showcase, Exoprimal was a very unexpected announcement from Capcom. We didn’t know what to expect going into the showcase, let alone that Capcom would be there with a brand new game. Unlike their other popular ongoing series and recent output of new IP, Exoprimal looks to take itself a bit less seriously, judging by the trailer and premise — and it looks like a ton of fun. While it might not be the next Dino Crisis as some had hoped, here’s everything we know about the chaotic, mech-suit, and dinosaur-filled shooter game Exoprimal.
For the time being, Exoprimal is only given a 2023 release window. Not even a quarter or season was hinted at, so odds are Capcom is still waiting to see how development goes throughout this year before committing to a more specific date. If we had to guess, they would probably aim for the latter half of 2023 to give the game enough time, but it could also slip into early 2024 since delays have become far more common as of late.
If you’re looking forward to some dinosaur blasting action, odds are you already have the hardware to play it. Exoprimal is releasing on just about every major platform, including PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The Switch is the only platform left out, but by 2023, even the PS4 and Xbox One will be very old hardware, so expecting it on the Switch would be too much to ask of the little handheld hybrid.
