Exoprimal’s First Big Update Adds 10 New Exosuits

ign.com:

Capcom has released the first big update for its recently-released mech dinosaur game Exoprimal.

Title Update 1, out now across all platforms, adds 10 new alpha Exosuit variants and over 30 Modules, as well as a free Skywave “Egret” skin to celebrate more than one million players.

Exosuit variants are equipped with unique weapon loadouts that contrast with the standard models, for example changing the effective combat range.

Here’s a rundown of the 10 new suits:

These variant Exosuits can be unlocked for free in-game by levelling up the base versions of the Exosuits to level 20.

Meanwhile, the update adds a free Exosuit decal inspired by J-pop group Da-iCE, who produced the song Funky Jumping for Exoprimal. Related, there’s a Funky Dance emote in the works for the next title update, due out in October. This lets you do dance moves from the music video.

Exoprimal Season 2 launches in October 2023, and adds a new map, mission type, Rigs, Modules, and the announced Street Fighter 6 collaboration. Then, in January 2024, Season 3 adds beta variant Exosuits, a new Neo Triceratops boss enemy, a Monster Hunter crossover, and more.

Exoprimal launched straight into Game Pass, which may have had a cannibalising effect on PC and Xbox version sales. Capcom recently admitted to “challenges”, given Exoprimal is a new intellectual property (IP), but pointed to the fact it had more than one million players as a “positive".

“Given that this game is an all-new IP, the situation is not without its challenges; however, we view the fact that the game has amassed over one million players to be positive,” Capcom said. “Going forward, we will continue to release content for the game while monitoring player behaviour with an eye toward expanding sales.”
