During Xbox Games Showcase Extended 2023, Capcom shared more information about Exoprimal and the new PvE Savage Gauntlet mode. The publisher/developer also shared information about an upcoming post-launch update.
In Exoprimal, Savage Gauntlet is a weekly PvE game mode where five-player teams may complete limited-time missions to earn exciting rewards. These missions are replayable in order to earn higher rankings and even more useful rewards. Moreover, post-launch updates for Exoprimal will introduce new Alpha variant Exosuits. These new Exosuits will introduce “new ways to play” while offering viable loadouts for high-level content in Exoprimal.
Before launch, fans may participate in the Exoprimal second open beta test starting July 16. Players have access to the story opening, story-related missions, and 10-player co-op missions. Additionally, the tutorial and training modes are available for players who haven’t played the first open beta test. A Capcom ID is required once more, but players will earn a bonus for participating.

Exoprimal Savage Gauntlet and Alpha Variant Exosuits
Savage Gauntlet is a new game mode where five-player teams take on PvE scenarios that rotate weekly. These limited-time missions are late-game content that offer a higher level of challenge. Exofighters are encouraged to take leveled-up Exosuits into these combat tests and equip Module power-ups. Savage Gauntlet presents squads across the world with the same objective and the Exoprimal community is invited to vie for the fastest completion time. The missions are replayable and groups are welcome to come back and try new strategies to achieve higher rankings and even earn rewards.
In addition to showcasing this competitive PvE mode, Exoprimal Director Takuro Hiraoka introduced new Exosuit variants. These designs feature distinct combat styles that contrast with their default models, introducing new ways to play. For example, while Deadeye typically comes equipped with an assault rifle, its Alpha variant wields a weapon with burst fire and shotgun capabilities.
The full list of Alpha variant Exosuits includes:
- Deadeye Alpha: Burst Fire
- Zephyr Alpha: Energy Chakram
- Barrage Alpha: Rocket Hop
- Vigilant Alpha: Marksman
- Roadblock Alpha: Fortress Shield
- Krieger Alpha: Charge Shotgun
- Murasame Alpha: Frost Glaive
- Witchdoctor Alpha: Duality Beam
- Skywave Alpha: Thunderclap
- Nimbus Alpha: Double Barrel
Lastly, Exoprimal launches July 14 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows. The game will be available with Xbox Game Pass on consoles, PC, and cloud on launch day.
