Exoprimal begins in 2040, when dinosaurs reappear across the globe and threaten humanity’s existence. To save the day, the powerful Aibius Corp. deploys its next-generation artificial intelligence Leviathan. This A.I. can forecast where dinosaur outbreaks will occur and scramble Exofighters to protect the area. These warriors wield advanced armor known as Exosuits, which represent humanity’s greatest hope. The story unfolds three years later, when an Exofighter patrol unit called the Hammerheads crash-land on a remote island where Leviathan enlists them as test subjects in a deadly wargame.
The competition unfolds in the main game mode, Dino Survival. In these combat tests, two squads of five Exofighters race to complete various objectives before their opponents, while also battling against swarms of dinosaurs. Dino Survival missions change from one game to the next based on players’ progression. Some matches pit squads against one another, whereas others require rivals to band together to take down major threats like the monstrous Neo T. Rex. Dino Survival also offers options between player-versus-player (PvP), player-versus-environment (PvE), and random matches.
The choices extend to what armor players can take into the fray. Exoprimal features an arsenal of 10 Exosuits that each possess an array of unique abilities. Divided into Assault, Tank, and Support classes, every Exosuit has a distinct role in tackling the dinosaur threat and assisting their team. Exofighters can also change Exosuits at any time during battle to adapt to the ever-changing situation on the ground. Players can tailor their playstyle with equipment called Rigs, which offer Exosuits additional abilities ranging from added firepower and defense to increased mobility and healing powers. Modules further enable Exofighters to power-up their Exosuits and customize how they perform in combat.
As players progress through Dino Survival, they will unlock new Exosuits, gear, cosmetic items, and narrative content. The tale of the Hammerheads crew will unfold through story-related missions, cutscenes, and “lost data.” This intel includes audio logs, documents, and more that can be pieced together in the Analysis Map to solve the mystery behind the wargames and dinosaur outbreaks.
