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.
