10 Upcoming Video Games That Will Die At Launch

Because Capcom is apparently averse to just giving the people what they want and making a new Dino Crisis game, we've instead been "blessed" with the third-person multiplayer dino-shooter Exoprimal.

Now, does the game look like it could be sporadic, undemanding dumb fun? Sure - a PvPvE squad-based shooter where players face off against each other and giant dinosaurs could be a laugh... were it free-to-play.

Except, Exoprimal is a full-fat retail release, and though Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play it for "free" on launch, everybody else will need to fork out a hefty AAA price tag to play it.

If that's not a major threat to the game's potential to build a community and survive long-term, what is?

While Exoprimal might cling to life in its early days due to the Game Pass Effect, expect it to flop on PS4 and PS5, because nothing we've seen from the game so far suggests it's worth the £50 asking price.

Even on Game Pass, don't be shocked if players exhaust the available content within a week or two, it fails to retain its player-base, and a mass exodus swiftly ensues.
