Exoprimal Introduces Monster Hunter Crossover in Title Update 3
Nov. 3, 2023Exoprimal Introduces Monster Hunter Crossover in Title Update 3
Exoprimal shows off an exciting new crossover with the Monster Hunter franchise alongside Title Update number 3.
Additionally, Capcom will be lettingplayerswho’ve been wary of making the jump with a free weekend event. This will let interested players be able to access the game, free of charge from Thursday, November 2 at 10:00 AM PDT up until Monday, November 6th at 9:00 AM PST. Exoprimal will also be on a deep 35% sale for the first time. Perfect for those who might enjoy trying out the game.
Exoprimal’s crossover reveal trailer contained a lone hunter taking down a T-Rex, though their moves looked eerily like those of aMonster Hunterusing a longsword instead. They eventually get chased around too much and are eventually eaten while some MH music plays in the background.
An AI then introduces the new challenge these hunters must face off against Rathalos. The mission takes place in a cybernetic arena that starts like most Exoprimalmissions(that is, with a ton of dinosaurs just being blasted into the arena). The intrepid group of hunters then start clearing out thetrashuntil they eventually go toe-to-toe with the big bad himself.
The 10-player co-op fight here hardly seems fair, what with the Exoprimal hunters being equipped with all these high-tech lasers, gadgets, and other weapons of mass destruction. This is all against Rathalos with his swipes, jabs, andfirebreath attacks. It also looks as if the body part dismembering system from Monster Hunter is still relevant here, as one scene includes the poor Rathalos’ tail being lobbed off. Perhaps to eventually be used to make a fancy new hat.
Aside from the new mission and amazing new boss fight, the Monster Hunter crossover will include some new items, specifically four new Exosuitskins. This comes in the form of skins of the Rathalosarmor set, theKirinarmor set, and theNergigantearmor set. The trailer heavily featured the Nergigante set, in particular.
Additionally, a special skin will turn players into the Rajang monster, ready to take on Rathalos! Unfortunately, this is only for the player and you can’t fightRajangin person.
It would have been interesting though if Capcom included otherweapons,switch skills, or even some coolwirebugmoves into the mix.
Exoprimal is currently in its second season. Season 3, when it fully launches, will include an entirely new Jungle map (perhaps to help us transition into the Monster Hunter mood). It will also include 4 Beta variants of existing exosuits which include new rigs and modules. Lastly, the Neo Triceratops boss encounter will be added and will require 10 players to take down.
Exoprimal is currently on a 35% sale which brings the price down to just $38.99 for the standard edition. The game is available on PC (via Steam and PC Gamepass), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and the PlayStation 5.
