Developer Tripwire Interactive and co-developer Demiurge Studios revealed Maneater 2 during Sony’s latest State of Play broadcast. The sequel to the 2020 open-world action-RPG (“shARkPG”) is currently in development and set to launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store).
Chris Parnell returns to voice narrator Trip Westhaven as players control a bull shark causing chaos in Neptune’s Kingdom, a luxury, Roman-themed resort park whose advanced bioengineering efforts create unexpected evolutionary mutations. Built on enhanced engine tech, the title features improved underwater lighting physics and reactive prey/predator behaviours.
Hunt an expanded roster of marine life – including pufferfish, jumbo crabs, and piranhas—alongside high-profile influencers and park guests.
Explore and navigate park attractions, deep-sea ruins, and corporate research labs across the resort grounds, while evolving your shark to mutate using genetic modifications engineered by the park’s bio-researchers.
The original Maneater and its Truth Quest DLC have surpassed 20 million players worldwide.
