In this single-player action-RPG, players must fight to survive as a baby bull shark. Grow in power as you explore a wide range of underwater environments, from swamps and rivers to beachside resorts and the deep blue sea.

Set in the unforgiving waters of the southern US Gulf Coast, players will fight to survive in rivers and streams as well as the open ocean, with danger lurking at every depth. Their only tools are their wits, their jaws, and an uncanny ability to evolve as they feed. Anything and everything is on the menu... kill or be killed.

In this tale of revenge, players can take on the role of an ever-evolving shark and terrorize the coastal waterways, tearing swimmers and divers limb from limb, giving the humans a reason to fear what lies below. Immersed in a living, breathing world full of threats and rewards, players will have a vast world to explore sunken wrecks, lurk in swamps, or cruise the open ocean looking for their next unsuspecting meal. As your shark evolves customize your maneater to fit YOUR play style. Eat, Grow, Evolve.

During The Video Game Awards 2019 show Tripwire Interactive revealed that ManEater is scheduled for release on May 22, 2020.

Tripwire Interactive is excited to announce a partnership with Deep Silver, Inc. to bring Maneater to all major console systems.

This new trailer features never-before-seen gameplay and locations with narration by actor Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live, Rick and Morty, Archer, 30 Rock).

"We continue to be blown away by the interest and excitement fans have for Maneater," said John Gibson, CEO and Co-owner of Tripwire Interactive. "Today we're happy to announce this unique ShARkPG experience is coming to all major console platforms, and we're excited to be partnering with Deep Silver to land this big shark on consoles worldwide!"

"We are delighted to re-new our partnership with Tripwire Interactive and to team up for the upcoming launch of Maneater. Our teams around the globe who successfully released Killing Floor 2 are eager to support the game with all our distribution and marketing experience," states Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO at Koch Media GmbH, parent company of Deep Silver, Inc.

"How could we not partner with Tripwire Interactive for the world’s first ShaRkPG," said Geoff Mulligan, COO of Deep Silver, Inc. "Maneater hooked us immediately and we are excited to support the marketing and distribution of this jaw-some title."

Tripwire Interactive and Deep Silver are also excited to announce the Tiger Shark Adaptation for players who pre-order the game with participating retail partners. Like the tiger shark, often called the "Garbage Can of the Ocean," this evolution allows players to digest nearly anything, increasing your ability to gain vital nutrients from your prey.

ManEater is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC (Epic Gamers Store) on May 22, 2020, with plans to launch later in 2020 on Nintendo Switch.
