Capcom has revealed that Exoprimal, the cooperative shooter set for release on July 14, will have cross-platform play. However, there’s a catch – players won’t be able to form cross-platform parties.

The roadmap will likely provide more details on the collaboration, including the availability of themed cosmetic items and the two Street Fighter Exofighter skins. Furthermore, Capcom has future collaborations with other titles in the works, leaving fans hopeful for a potential Dino Crisis crossover.
