Exoprimal roadmap and battlepass revealed
[ad_1]
Exoprimal got some love during the Capcom Showcase live stream last night as the world was greeted with another trailer and loads of battle pass and pre-order rewards.
The game, released on July 14 this year, it’s Capcom’s next big venture into the live services space. While there was initial frustration from those thirsty for a new Dino Crisis, the game has created its own community of enthusiastic dino hunters after a period of open beta and continued marketing.
Let’s take a look at those bonuses. Those who pre-order Exoprimal will get three skins for the Witchdoctor, Deadeye, and Roadblock exosuits. A simple but pretty classic package for early adopters, especially when compared to other games that loved it during the non-E3 season, like Forza and its five-day early access.
Then you have the Deluxe Edition of Exoprimal, which comes with the base game, Head Start Kit, and Season 1 Premium Battle Pass. That Head Start Kit gives you exosuit skins for the Vigilant, Murasame, and Nimbus suits. It also gets you some early unlock tickets, allowing you to quickly acquire more skins when the game first comes out.
As it turns out, that battle pass is packed with rewards for premium owners. The premium pass will give you:
- 19 exosuit skins
- 10 weapon skins
- 3 decals
- 4 gestures
- 2 stamps
- 10 players mark emblems
- A gamer tag background
Owners of the free battle pass can still expect some nice prizes, but it’s clear from the trailer that the overwhelming amount of stuff is thrown at those who spend a little cash. That’s the live service form!
Whether Exoprimal will be successful remains uncertain. For one thing, we’re firmly in a period of exhaustion for live services, with many people who would have jumped on a new multiplayer game years ago without that passion for the big slump. Not to mention, the base game will set you back £50 or your regional equivalent, even though it’s a traditionally free model for future content.
However, with the microtransaction model, it’s not like Exoprimal has to attract a massive audience to keep the lights on. A smaller community willing to buy the passes may be enough to keep the game going in the long run. Also, while it’s a very basic and simple point, it has a different vibe than the sea of co-op multiplayer shooters right now. Maybe that’s enough to tick boxes at Capcom headquarters. Plus it’s on Game Pass!
Will you be jumping to Exoprimal next month? Or is it a difficult pass for you? Let us know below!
