Capcom Spotlight provided a look at what’s new and upcoming in the world of Capcom! The digital broadcast unveiled new updates on future titles, including a thrilling demo for the reawakened Resident Evil 4 dropping now, the latest dinosaur forecasts for the launch of Exoprimal this July, and its open beta test next week.
Resident Evil 4 Demo Arrives Now!
Resident Evil 4 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi joined the presentation to announce that the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo comes out now! There are no limits to how many times players can experience this new reimagining of Leon’s first steps into the mysterious European village. The Chainsaw Demo will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
They hope that the Chainsaw Demo prepares fans for the horrors that await when Resident Evil 4 releases on March 24th, 2023 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. In addition to the Standard Edition (MSRP $59.99), Resident Evil 4 launches with a “Deluxe Edition” (MSRP $69.99). The Deluxe Edition features additional in-game content, including costumes, weapons, a treasure map, and more. Those who pre-order the Standard Edition will receive in-game rewards, including the “Attaché Case: Gold” and “Special Charm: Handgun Ammo,” while pre-orders of the Deluxe Edition include the aforementioned bonuses in addition to the “Attaché Case: Classic” and “Special Charm: Green Herb” items. These customization items offer specific in-game abilities when equipped.
Exoprimal Suits up to Take Down Dinosaur Outbreaks on July 14th
The dinosaur forecast revealed Exoprimal will deploy for a battle of the ages on July 14th, 2023 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. The online team-based action game will be available on day one with Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and cloud. Capcom Spotlight also introduced new Exosuits, dinosaurs, and the upcoming Open Beta Test.
The Exoprimal Open Beta Test (OBT) takes place next week. The wargames run Thursday, March 16 at 17:00 PDT – Sunday, March 19 at 16:59 PDT on all platforms. The OBT will feature cross-platform matchmaking, enabling Exofighter squads to compete against rival units on other systems. Players will also have the opportunity to try all 10 Exosuits, including the two unveiled today. As a special bonus, all OBT participants will qualify to receive an Aibius Medal charm to kit out their Exosuits in the full game.
Krieger and Nimbus are the latest Exosuits to join the action. Each model has unique powers to assist their allies on the battlefield. Krieger has a heavy arsenal geared to stop enemies in their tracks. This hulking Tank-type Exosuit wields heavy artillery to protect the team with formidable suppressive firepower. Meanwhile, Nimbus is a highly mobile Support-type Exosuit. This roller-skating pistoleer can rush into combat with guns ablaze or weave through dinosaur swarms to heal injured squadmates.
The broadcast also revealed new prehistoric threats that Exofighters must survive while searching for a way to escape the time-bending experiments of the sinister A.I. Leviathan. The armor-plated Stegosaurus is back from the past with the strange new ability to disarm Exosuits with its roars. Also, beware Sinornithosaurus! These winged beasts may be small, but they move in packs and latch onto Exosuits to restrain them. In addition, there are two more mutant variants joining the fray: the Stealth Neosaur and Cryo Neosaur, which use invisibility and ice attacks to shock Exofighters and cause chaos.
