Mega Man Collab Brings Exoprimal Back to Life Later This Month

Capcom has announced its blue bomber Mega Man will be inspiring a new wave of content in its somewhat forgotten mech shooter Exoprimal. The game’s fourth major update, arriving on 17th April 2024, adds six new beta variant exosuits, all inspired by Mega Man. They’ll be equipped with new weapons and abilities, all of which you can see in action in the trailer above.

The collaboration with Mega Man forms just part of Exoprimal’s season four content drop. There’s also going to be a new 10-player co-op challenge mode called Time Loop Rebellion, custom matches and full crossplay support, and a further six exosuits on top of what Mega Man is bringing. Not all of this content arrives for free, though, as the trailer mentions select items “must be purchased separately”.

Released for PS5 and PS4 in July last year, we had a lot of praise to share in our Exoprimal PS5 review. Having awarded it a 7/10, we loved the varied playstyles of its exosuits and intense co-op combat. “A white-knuckle fusion of Overwatch 2 and Gears of War, the excellent Exoprimal is one of the best co-op shooters in quite some time.” One complaint was a lack of content at launch, which as the game enters its fourth season, appears to have been addressed.
