Witchdoctor: Principally the healer
There’s additionally an omnipresent AI referred to as Leviathan, who is ready to predict the place Vortexes are prone to pop up subsequent (the vortexes are the place the dinosaurs come from, ). She’s principally the navigator and instruction barker, however may also drive the narrative alongside. Exoprimal will launch for PC and consoles a while in 2023.
