There are many cool horror games on the horizon but the one I really cannot wait to play is Tripwire’s Maneater, essentially a bigger and better version of Jaws Unleashed that puts you in control of a killer shark. The team showed off new footage at Gamescom this week, while also revealing that we’ll be able to play the game ourselves sometime before E3 next June.
You can check out IGN’s Gamescom coverage of Maneater below, which includes new gameplay footage along with insights from the developers. Initially, this will be a PC release.
Set in the unforgiving waters of the southern US Gulf Coast, Maneater finds players fighting to survive in rivers and streams as well as the open ocean, with danger lurking at every depth.
Your only tools are your wits, jaws, and an uncanny ability to evolve as you 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, you’ll be able to customize your maneater to fit YOUR play style.
