Exoprimal launches tomorrow, 14th July, on PS5 and PS4 – but our review won’t be live to mark the occasion. Capcom’s latest shooter is a heavily online co-op focused game, and while we’ve had code for a few days, the servers have only just gone live. This means outside of the various pre-release betas, we’re yet to really start our crusade in the game.
In order to bring you the best possible review, we want to ensure we’re playing on public servers with the rest of you. Ultimately, this means that our review is going to be delayed by several days. While we’ll be pouring many hours into the release this weekend, it’s unlikely we’ll be in a position to accurately appraise the title until later next week.
However, we will bring you some early impressions and first thoughts over the weekend, so you can get a general idea of which way the wind is blowing. Obviously this isn’t an ideal situation; we wish we could bring you a review on launch day. However, in this situation, with such a heavy emphasis on multiplayer, we reckon it’s best to get started with the rest of you.

Not a fan of online multiplayer, but big mech suits and dinosaurs? Yup! Interested to see how this pans out.
I wish this one had launched on PS + same to as it has on Gamepass. It looks good however I got too many games to play to take a risk on an online game at almost full price
I do think the game will be fun, but much short lived.
Should’ve launched as a F2P.
@Fight_Teza_Fight I wouldn't be surprised if it maybe transitions later down the line. Depends if it gathers any momentum or not.
Similar sentiment as others.
This type of game screams F2P and I can't see it catching on without adopting that model.
There is just too much out there already for people to drop 70$ on an online multiplayer game, especially one that's a new franchise.
Can't wait to forget this exist before the end of summer just like the whole gaming community.
@get2sammyb Yh I think it will, as a last ditch resort. Capcom have been on a roll for a while now. Don’t think there’s enough there to capture an audience. Time will tell.
I do think it looks like a fun weekend game.
@get2sammyb Play it straight to me here: is there more to the game than online multiplayer here? I’m trying to figure out if the betas pretty much gave us a relatively full glimpse into what this game is, just with obviously less content than the main release, or if there is a campaign to entertain those of us that are more primarily interested in “the story mode.” I liked the betas just fine, and I can see my friends and I casually trying it out, but I’m just curious. After Street Fighter 6’s campaign, I believe in Capcom’s ability to put a ludicrous story to an otherwise multiplayer experience. I just don’t know what game modes exist beyond what I’ve tried.
Perfect game try out on gamepass tomorrow hopefully it comes is ps+ too
@Stragen8 It also really doesn't help that you give it on one platform and ask full price on another. For me it's a 100% wait for a full discount i just can't sell this to myself especially for a fully online game with almost no value besides that.
If xbox is getting it for game pass then I can wait for a price drop on playstation or even for it to be a PS+ essential game
I can't wait for this to be an Austin Eruption video where he gets the platinum and the game shutters a month later.
I'm playing it today on Game Pass shortly so hopefully it's good.
I'm not a fan of online only games as Outriders kicks you out if there's a slight server or Internet issue even though you are playing by yourself.
@KaijuKaiser I wouldn't go that far. They just struggle at making anything good that has to do with multiplayer specifically. Like look at Pragmata, they had to delay indefinitely but it looks way more interesting(Along with the small amount of gameplay we've seen) and it's single-player.
@KaijuKaiser I don't know, it seems like a lot of theor ips are just languishing at this point. Still waiting for news about a power stone, darkstalkers, project justice, viewtiful joe, breath of fire, or especially since I really want a good beat em up, final fight.
This game never really felt like it was made for anybody in particular. I'm not sure what's going on with dino crisis, but I'd imagine more people would have wanted that instead.
