First off, I'm BLOWN AWAY at how many of you have been playing and enjoying the demo! I also very much appreciate all the feedback you've given us, because without it I would've been so out of touch!
Anyway, there's a few major issues that have caused some of you trouble, so I got this update out as fast as I could. This demo will create a new save file with new properties, so you will lose your previous settings!
The email menu on the title screen should now work for all screen resolutions
There is now a red overlay that indicates low health.
Grenades now have a red outline to try and improve visibility
Getting stuck on top of the computer in the main menu is now fixed.
You can now turn off or adjust the visual recoil for the weapons.
For speed runners, you can toggle a new option that replaces the money counter that shows a live timer and the money earned in the level.
Pressing R in the menu will now restart the level.
The use prompt should disappear more consistently
In Gone Fishin', the escape prompt now correctly tells the player to run to the helipad.
There's still a lot of work to do, and I'll make sure the demo gets updated to be the best it can, but for now this should address some of the biggest problems besides the optimization. If you don't see the update show up, right click on your game in the steam library, go to properties, then installed files, and press "Verify integrity of demo files".

We hope the wargames have been treating you well and your combat data is of the highest quality. Season 2 is on the horizon, arriving free to all players on October 18th, so we thought we’d delve a little deeper with you into some of the content that you’ll soon be able to enjoy as part of the update!
To help us do this, we’ve gathered some combat data of our own in the form of a message from Exoprimal’s Director Hiraoka on the new 10-player co-op final mission arriving in Season 2’s launch, “Escape”.
Before we hear from Director Hiraoka though, let’s have a recap on what’s been revealed to be coming to Exoprimal in the new season.
Exoprimal Season 2 Summary
In September, we hosted our Capcom Online Program as part of the Tokyo Game Show, during which a new trailer for Exoprimal dropped, showcasing a new map, final mission, Rigs and more. Check it out below:
So Exofighters, prepare for –
New Field: Ocean Platform.
New Final Mission: “Escape” – 10-player co-op PvE.
New Rigs: Edge Strike & Drone.

The double EXP will apply to your Player level, Survival Pass level and yes, your Exosuit levels too!
Further information on all of the above can be found on the Exoprimal website HERE.
Now it’s about time we caught-up with Director Hiraoka to learn more about the “Escape” Final Mission. Take note, Exofighters, it might just help you survive the dino onslaught…
Director Combat Data – Final Mission: Escape
Hi everyone! This is Exoprimal director Takuro Hiraoka here to tell you about some exciting new additions to the game in Title Update 2!
Our goal with the title updates for Exoprimal is to add new content that changes the way you play and experience the main Dino Survival mode in an exciting way. For the first TU, we added the Variant Alpha Exosuits, which brought a fun new element of strategy to the player character. For this second TU, in addition to new rigs for the Exosuits, we are adding a new Ocean Platform map and the new final mission Escape, both of which change the nature of Dino Survival itself and bring a new experience to Exofighters. Today, I’d like to share some details about the Escape mission type.
Escape is a new kind of final mission that can occur during Dino Survival. Previous final missions have been based on the theme of competing against the other team, but Escape is about cooperating with them. When you hear Leviathan announce the final mission is Escape, you’ll have the surprising experience of suddenly needing to cooperate with the opposing team who you had been competing against until that point.
The mission is divided into two broad phases, during which you must cooperate as a group of 10 Exofighters to follow Leviathan’s orders, not all of which will be straightforward. First, in the escape preparation phase, you’ll try to capture as many of the marked areas on the map as possible within the time limit. Exofighters will receive upgrades such as attack or defence boosts depending on the number of areas secured, so better performance here will be an advantage in the second phase. Capturing all the areas will be very difficult, especially as you will be teaming up with your foes from previous missions, but try your best!
Once the area capture phase is over, you’ll proceed to the escape phase. Your goal is to get all Exofighters to the exit safely, in the midst of a huge amount of dinosaurs. Among the upgrades you can earn is one where crafting is automatically replenished, so crafting a lot is definitely a viable strategy.
If you can get not only yourself but the whole team out safely, you’ll be awarded a special medal which grants not just additional score but further rewards, so be sure to try for a full-team escape. Each time an Exofighter successfully escapes through the gate, extra time is added to the amount of time before the gate closes, so it’s essential not to give up until the absolute last as you try to secure the escape of every last Exofighter!
I hope you enjoy the thrilling experience of teaming up and trying to escape during the short time window the gate is open. Remember, we’ve also added the new Ocean Platform map as well, which broadens the possibilities of Dino Survival even further and will see all kinds of new situations occur during gameplay. See you in the wargames!
That wraps up the insight on the “Escape” Final Mission from Director Hiraoka!
To summarise - Ready yourselves for a multi-phase experience where your rivals become allies and you must first secure key territory locations to bolster your 10-player team with buffs to aid in your escape.
After all, you’ll need all the support you can get when the second phase kicks in and you must reach the escape gate before it closes. There will be a huge amount of dinosaurs throughout this mission, challenging your PvE skills and teamwork as you seek to hold your ground and escape.
Remember, if you all escape and leave no Exofighter behind, you’ll be rewarded!
One last thing to aid you in surviving “Escape”, this Final Mission can occur on any Field, not just Ocean Platform. Prepare yourselves accordingly, Exofighters!

We've been a little quiet lately, but I promise it's for a good reason. ːsteamhappyː We've been working hard behind the scenes, doing some major refactoring and creating some cool tools to speed up the release of our upcoming major updates. But guess what? We've also cooked up an awesome update that's packed with some of the most requested features from our awesome community. So, without further ado, here's what's in store:
UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
CCTV Enhancements
We've introduced some important improvements to the CCTV system. Now, the CCTV cameras and monitoring tables are interconnected through receivers and transmitters. When cameras are placed, they will automatically connect to nearby transmitters, and monitoring stations will link to the placed receivers if they are within range. The complete CCTV network is established by connecting a transmitter to a receiver. Receivers can be linked to multiple transmitters, and each connected monitoring station increases the capacity of the CCTV network by 6.
Sports Lounge and Betting
We've added a fresh entertainment type for your guests with the introduction of our sports lounge. Now, you can build a dedicated sports lounge area, install sports betting kiosks, and designate various sports betting options.
Employee Assignments and Patrol Routes
Employees such as maintenance officers, janitors, housekeepers, security officers, and vendors can also be assigned to patrol routes that you have created other than rooms. Additionally, our HR menu has undergone a complete revamp for more straightforward assignment management.
Employee Job Satisfaction
Employee happiness is no longer solely determined by moodlets. Now, employees' job satisfaction is influenced by the amenities in the employee break room. Each employee has their preferred break room items, snacks, and drinks. If their job satisfaction remains consistently low, they may decide to leave their position.
Customer Satisfaction
Customers arrive at our casino hotel with specific expectations, typically involving 4-6 primary services they wish to enjoy. Customer satisfaction is now based on whether we can meet these expectations or not, considering any unforeseen service unavailability.
Employee Break Scheduling
We've introduced more flexibility into our employees' break schedules. Each of the two shifts now offers three different break times. You have the freedom to customize these break times to ensure a seamless service flow and prevent any disruptions.
