Sprinting allows the player to move around quickly. Given how agile the dinosaurs and the large numbers in which they can flood out of portals, this is a crucial mechanic. Even more so when the pilot is outside of the exosuit which is how players will put on different suits.

The game has an extensive training mode where players can spend as much time as they like coming to grips with all its fundamentals.

Taking place in the year 2040, mysterious portals opening around Earth are flooding the planet with a swarm of angry and hungry dinosaurs. To combat this, the corporation Aibius has developed an AI called Leviathan. Capable of predicting future outbreaks, it also helps the firm create super-advanced exosuits that trained soldeirs can use to curb the raptor threat.

The exouits come in various flavors, from beefy tanks and aggressive damage dealers to agile support units. Since this is a third-person online multiplayer game, players must work together with randoms or in co-op to achieve victory.

Thankfully, there is a swathe of varied weapons to help mow down these feral foes. Players can customize their exo-suit with different combinations of modules. From missile pod barrages to projectable energy barriers to stave off ambushes, players have many stratgies to overcome challenges. Players can even summon and control large beasts like a Tyrannosaurus Rex temporarily to deal extra damage.

Exoprimal was released on July 14, 2023 and is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
