Exoprimal
Exoprimal is an all-new IP from Capcom. The near-future is constantly invaded by angry dinosaurs coming in waves through portals. Naturally our best defense is an advanced technology corporation of AIs and exo-suit fighters!

Exosuits come in different classes, including melee, tank, sniper, and support, and customize their loadout for each mission.
