Capcom’s Exoprimal is gearing up to introduce a new seasonal rotation mode starting from mid-July 2024. The decision to enter this rotation comes after the completion of all planned seasons for the game. This move signifies a shift in the game’s approach to content updates and player engagement.
Instead of continuously releasing new seasons, Exoprimal will now cycle through past seasons on a monthly basis. This means that players will have the opportunity to experience older content again, giving them a chance to obtain any items or rewards they might have missed during the initial run of those seasons. This approach also allows for the implementation of Season Passes for the first three chapters of the game, providing players with another chance to delve into the content they may have overlooked.
Capcom has reassured players that their progression from previous seasons will carry over, allowing them to seamlessly pick up where they left off. This ensures that the time and effort invested by players in advancing through the game will not go to waste. The continuity of progression also serves to maintain player engagement and interest in the game over the long term.
Despite the transition to a seasonal rotation model, Capcom remains committed to supporting Exoprimal and keeping online services available for the foreseeable future. While certain modes may undergo tweaks, such as Savage Gauntlet no longer being tabulated after Trial 41, all gameplay modes will continue to be accessible. This includes the main Dino Survival mode, as well as endgame content like Savage Gauntlet and Time Loop Rebellion. Additionally, the addition of AI-controlled Exofighters (Bots) ensures that players can enjoy the game even when playing solo or with a limited number of other players.
The decision to implement a seasonal rotation model for Exoprimal comes amidst challenges faced by new live service games in building and sustaining a dedicated player base. With a plethora of gaming options available to consumers, attracting and retaining players has become increasingly difficult. Furthermore, Exoprimal’s departure from being a new installment in the beloved Dino Crisis franchise may have contributed to initial disappointment among fans. The game was met with high expectations, and falling short of being a new Dino Crisis title may have impacted its overall performance.
As Exoprimal prepares to enter a new phase with its seasonal rotation model, players can expect a refreshed gameplay experience that revisits past content while maintaining a commitment to ongoing support and updates. The decision to transition to this model reflects Capcom’s dedication to adapting to player needs and industry trends. By embracing change and offering players the opportunity to engage with familiar content in a new way, Exoprimal aims to evolve and grow its community of players for the future.
