During the PlayStation 'State of Play' broadcast this week, Tripwire Interactive and Demiurge Studios made a splash with Maneater 2.
This "open-water action-RPG" is now in development for the Switch 2 and follows the release of the original Maneater game on the Switch in 2020. It's scheduled to surface at some point 2027.
Here's the official PR, and you can check out some screenshots below:
Maneater 2 takes players to the depths of Neptune’s Kingdom, a five-star, luxury theme park and resort where the splendour and opulence of the Roman Empire lives on… but not for long. Crash an exclusive, invite-only preview event hosting the world's most followed - and most delicious - influencers and media luminaries. Fascinating evolutions are occurring under the surface as a byproduct of the park’s highly-advanced Marine Research efforts to build attractions that push technological, natural - and ethical - boundaries. For the average human, Neptune’s Kingdom is the theme park of their dreams. For the bull shark, it’s a fully realized aquatic sandbox with secrets to uncover, courses and currents to traverse, dangers to overcome and an all-you-can-eat VIP buffet.
When the original game washed up on the Switch, we described it at the time as a "ridiculous shark revenge fantasy" but also thought it was "a little toothless". Check out the review here:
