If you’re looking for a new game to play this weekend, Capcom‘s soon to be latest entry, Exoprimal, just started its second open beta test today. This means you have another shot at checking the game out before its release on July 14.
That’s just under a month away. So if prefer to go into your new games blind, you don’t have a long wait here. But allow me to suggest one good reason to give the open beta some of your time. You’ll have a better idea of whether or not you should buy it.
If you’ve already pre-ordered, then you could always cancel. And if you haven’t pre-ordered but were planning to pick it up, the beta gives you a good chance to see what the game is like. Maybe you buy the game and end up getting very little enjoyment out of it. By trying the beta, you’ll likely know whether or not you want to continue playing once the game releases next month.
That being said, it’s also important to keep a couple of things in mind. Betas can be buggy. So you may not want to base your decision to buy on how the game performs during a beta test. As these things may very well be fixed before or shortly after release. Beta tests also don’t usually give you the full scope of the game. Meaning there is likely to be a lot of content that isn’t available to play during the test. This is by design. But if the game looks fun to you, then you should check out the beta to see if you like it.
The Exoprimal second open beta ends June 18
You’ll have just a few days to play the game before it comes out next month. Capcom says players will get part of the experience of the story. So you can check out the campaign and see how it suits you.
There’s also a 10-player online co-op mode called ‘Dino Survival’ that will be in the test. If you have friends who might want to play, let them know the beta is live. Although the game will have matchmaking too. Capcom also says there’s new content that wasn’t in the last test. Even if you did participate in the first open test, you may want to pop in and see what’s been added.
Exoprimal will launch on July 14 for PC via Steam and Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The open beta is also available on all these platforms, and there’s support for cross-platform matchmaking. If you want to check out the beta, you can find it on the PlayStation Store, on Steam, and the Microsoft Store via the buttons below. You can also view the latest trailer for it here.
