'Exoprimal' Kicks Off Free Steam Weekend, Season 3 Brings Monster Hunter Crossover In January 2024 - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 2, 2023 @ 9:42 a.m. PDT

Exoprimal is a team-based action game set to unleash a prehistoric blast from the past on the near future, blending a new co-op experience with a competitive edge.

Suit up in powered armor to put down dinosaur invasions and save humanity from extinction when the Exofighters deploy for battle.

It’s 2040 and the planet is in crisis. Dinosaurs are appearing from thin air and laying waste to cities across the globe. Threatened by history’s deadliest creatures, the world turns to the powerful Aibius Corporation and its revolutionary technology for help. The company’s next-generation AI, Leviathan, can forecast where dinosaur outbreaks will occur and deploy Exofighters to the area. Armed with state-of-the-art mechanized combat armor known as Exosuits, these warriors represent humanity’s last hope.

Vortexes are opening in the sky, flooding cities with deadly creatures from the prehistoric era. As raptors cascade from above and Tyrannosaurus Rexes stomp through the streets, it’s up to squads of five brave Exofighters in mechanized combat armor, known as Exosuits, to fight back against the dinosaurs who threaten to push humanity toward extinction.

Exoprimal pioneers a new multiplayer experience rooted in co-op – but with a competitive edge. In the game’s main mode, Dino Survival, teams fight for every breath against countless dinosaurs while racing to complete missions before rival squads in 5v5 matches. A dynamic mix of objectives keeps players on their guard and ensures each match is different form the last. Exofighters will need to stay on their toes as hunts transition into precious cargo deliveries or desperate last stands against relentless assaults. Opposing teams are even given opportunities to tackle adversaries head-on and impede their progress. While Exoprimal is purely focused around multiplayer, a narrative is interwoven throughout the game. Players can sink their teeth into the world’s rich history and colorful characters by unlocking new story threads and piecing together the mystery behind the dinosaur outbreaks.


The free weekend on Steam runs from Nov. 2 at 10:00am PT to Nov. 6 at 9:00am PT.

During this period, players will have full access to the dinosaur-blasting multiplayer game without any content restrictions. In addition, players can carry over their save data if they purchase the game on Steam. 

Also starting today, Capcom is offering the game for 35% off from the Xbox and Steam storefronts. The base game will be discounted to $38.99 USD while the Deluxe Edition can be purchased for $45.39 USD.

Prepare for dimensional integration!

Capcom summoned the above Exoprimal trailer showcasing the game’s upcoming collaboration with the Monster Hunter series.

The crossover launches with Exoprimal Season 3 on Jan. 18, 2024 and includes a monstrous new mission featuring a Rathalos boss fight, a collection of Monster Hunter Exosuit skins, and more.

The Exoprimal Monster Hunter collaboration includes a ferocious new mission where Leviathan conjures a Rathalos and swarms of Velociprey for a combat test unlike any other. Exofighters must join forces in the Spacetime Abyss and hunt as a team to survive against the iconic fire-breathing “King of the Skies” in a 10-player co-op boss battle. 

The crossover also features a variety of special Monster Hunter cosmetic sets*, which include:

  • Rathalos armor skin (Murasame)
  • Kirin armor skin (Skywave)
  • Nergigante armor skin (Barrage)
  • Rajang monster skin (Roadblock)

Alongside the Monster Hunter collaboration, Exoprimal Season 3 will introduce an additional boss encounter with the arrival of the Neo Triceratops, four new Beta variant Exosuits, the Jungle map, plus new rigs, modules, and more. Today’s dinosaur forecast also teased Season 4 content, including a 10-player co-op challenge mode called “Time Loop Rebellion.” An additional “Custom Match” mode is also on the way in Season 4, which will allow players to send invites to friends across platforms, play through the story together, and enjoy the wargames with their favorite settings.

In the meantime, Exofighters can hit the streets of Bikitoa Island with Street Fighter™ 6 cosmetic sets*, including skins based on Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile. This downright fierce content came out swinging with Exoprimal Season 2 on Oct. 18, 2023, which also added the new PvE final mission Escape, the Ocean Platform map, new gear, and more.

Exofighters are always outnumbered and must work together to overcome overwhelming odds. Their Exosuits come in an array of classes, each playing a distinct role in combat. Assault models like the marksman Deadeye and the melee-oriented Zephyr excel at cutting down enemy swarms. Meanwhile, tanks such as the shield-bearing Roadblock and support types like the vital Witchdoctor help keep everyone alive to fight another day. Every model is outfitted with a unique armory and special abilities. Thanks to the efforts of the Aibius Corporation, Exosuits can be swapped out in the middle of combat, allowing your team to change tactics at a moment’s notice without having to disengage from a fight.

Aibius is also behind the development of Leviathan, an artificial intelligence which is instrumental in predicting where vortexes will open next. Leviathan acts as a navigator, providing constantly evolving objectives throughout each match, and instructing your squad on what your next task will be.

Your elite team will always be outnumbered by massive swarms of dinosaurs, but between the power of Exosuits and Leviathan’s guidance, you’ll be able to slowly piece together what’s going on in the world of Exoprimal. As you play, you’ll unlock narrative elements and story threads that will weave together to provide more insight into this near-future world plagued by dinosaur outbreaks.

Exoprimal is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
