This speculation was addressed in a recent interview by Siliconera with Takuro Hiraoka, current game director forExoprimal.Hiraoka discussed many aspects of the game’s development process, explaining some of the work that went into designingthe various dinosaur enemies inExoprimal, before moving to the topic of crossover content. When asked if fans could expect to seeDino Crisiscontent in the game at some point, Hiraoka did not explicitly confirm or deny the possibility. Instead, he stated that Leviathan, the rogue AI antagonist ofExoprimal,“is the type of entity that will go to any means to collect a variety of useful combat data,” and suggested that “if there’s enough demand from players, Leviathan very well could make this [aDino Crisiscrossover] a reality.”
Aside from teasing the possibility ofDino Crisiscontent, Hiraoka also gave his thoughts about other franchises he would like the chance to work with inExoprimal.He said that the prospect of a collaboration with theMega Mangames would be “a lot of fun” for him, and he was very excited by the possibility of incorporating fantasy monsters fromDragon’s Dogmaas well. Neither of these crossovers have been officially announced, but previous comments from Capcom aboutthe future of theMega Manfranchisesuggest that the possibility has at least been considered.
Even after years of relative neglect,fans ofDino Crisisremain passionateabout the franchise. This dedicated fan base will likely be pleased to hear about the possibility of their beloved series making an appearance inExoprimal,but some may not be satisfied with Hiraoka’s mere coy implication. In the absence of a definite announcement, the fate ofDino Crisisremains uncertain for now, despite the tantalizing possibilities Hiraoka’s comments imply.
Exoprimalis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
