Xbox Game Pass Hit Exoprimal Adds New Savage Gauntlet Co-Op Mode Today

Exoprimal’s brand-new co-op game mode, Savage Gauntlet, goes live today for free on PC and console.

Savage Gauntlet is a five-player squad mode that tasks players with taking on a series of challenging time-attack PvE scenarios with a weekly rotation. These missions feature late-game content that unlocks upon completing the main story in Dino Survival mode.

“Savage Gauntlet takes the wargames to the next level with special missions for courageous players,” the developer said. The game mode will also feature a rotation of rules and scenarios that “provide a high level of difficulty tuned for experienced players and powered-up Exosuits.”

Additionally, the weekly missions will invite the players to compete for the fastest completion time on Exoprimal’s global leaderboards for each platform, including PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. The time-attack missions are replayable, so players can experiment with new strategies to achieve the best run-time and obtain higher rankings.

Rewards can also be earned depending on performance. The Savage Gaunlet missions reset every Thursday at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET, while competitions run through Mondays at 7:59 PM PT / 10:59 PM ET.

Capcom also confirmed that alongside Savage Gauntlet, Season One will include the release of 10 new Alpha variant Exosuits–which are set to release on August 16–and feature unique weapon loadouts and playstyles. Season Two will begin in mid-October and will implement a new map and mission type, Rigs, Modules, and a Street Fighter 6 crossover event. January 2024 will see the release of Season Three and Beta variant Exosuits, a new Neo Triceratops boss enemy, and Monster Hunter collaboration.

Exoprimal launched on July 14 and has already reached 1 million players, with Xbox Game Pass seeming to play a large role.
