Maneater 2 Announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC

The sequel sends players into Neptune’s Kingdom, a bioengineered luxury theme park framing the game’s eat‑explore‑evolve loop with an escape objective.

Overview

  • Tripwire Interactive and Demiurge Studios announced Thursday that Maneater 2 will launch in 2027 and return the player role of an evolving, consumptive shark.
  • The game is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC with distribution on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
  • The story is set during an invite‑only preview of Neptune’s Kingdom, a private island theme park built around corporate bioengineering that drives the game’s conflict.
  • Core gameplay keeps the original’s progression loop of eating, exploring and evolving while adding a focused objective to escape the park, with narrator Trip Westhaven voiced again by Chris Parnell.
  • The reveal appeared during Sony’s State of Play, giving the title broad visibility even though it is scheduled as a multiplatform release and continues the tongue‑in‑cheek 'ShaRkPG' tradition started by the 2020 original.
