Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater is coming to Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch on May 25as previously announced. Maneater is the world’s first ShARkPG (Shark RPG). In Maneater, players have the opportunity to play as the apex predator of the seas, the scary and devastating shark.
With its scary, devastating but “beautiful” visuals, Maneater is ready to conquer the world with its arrival to Xbox Game Pass, expanding its reach to both PC and Xbox consoles for six months, Microsoft’s widely dominant subscription service.
Maneater is a single-player, open-world action RPG (ShARkPG) where YOU are the shark. Starting as a small bull shark pup, you are tasked with surviving the harsh world while eating your way up the ecosystem. To do this, you will explore a large and varied open world encountering diverse enemies — both human and wildlife. Find the right resources, and you can grow and evolve far beyond what nature intended, allowing the player to tailor the shark to their play style. This is fortunate because to get revenge on the cruel fisherman that dismembered, you will take evolving into a massive shark, an apex predator of legends. Eat. Explore. Evolve.
Below you can find some of its recently updated key features due to its arrival on the Nintendo Switch:
- Eat: Feed on humans, consume nutrients, and find rare shark loot to evolve past what nature intended.
- Explore the Gulf: Explore seven large regions, including bayous of the gulf coast, resort beaches, industrial docks, the open ocean, and more. Experience a living world with a full day/night cycle.
- Evolve Into a Legend: Unlock and equip various Evolutions that improve and enhance your shark as you progress through the campaign.
- Unique Story: Play through a full narrative, story-based campaign narrated by Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock) and set against the backdrop of a reality TV show.
- Diverse, Compelling Combat: Battle fierce wildlife, including other apex predators or fight against various types of human hunters ranging from town drunks all the way up to the Coast Guard.
- Includes the Tiger Shark Evolution: The Tiger Shark is often called the ‘garbage disposal of the sea.’ Appropriately enough, this evolution allows you to digest nearly anything, increasing your ability to gain vital nutrients from all varieties of prey.
- Nintendo Switch™ Features: Maneater for the Nintendo Switch™ is the most portable version of the award-winning Action-RPG (aka shARkPG) to date! Playable in Docked, Tabletop, and Handheld mode, Maneater also supports Rumble and Vibration on the Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Cons and the Nintendo Online Save Backup system.
