While it has a few hiccups, Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater is easily some of the most fun you can have. And for those who never got around to snagging it for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, you’ll have it available on day one for next gen.
Publishers Tripwire Interactive and Deep Silver with developer Blindside Interactive state that Maneater for PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series will support ray tracing, native 4K HDR resolution at 60 frames per second, and new lighting effects. The PC version on the Epic Games Store (and eventually Steam) will receive these enhancements in 2021 via a free update.
Users who currently own Maneater for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series version free of charge.
“The Tripwire team has been overwhelmed by the great reception Maneater received since it launched earlier this year, and we can’t wait for players to experience the thrill of playing as a deadly shark in all of her powerful glory on next-gen consoles,” said Tripwire Interactive CEO John Gibson in a press release. “With next-gen Maneater has never looked better with amazing ray traced water and smooth 4k 60 frames per second gameplay, but the adventures won’t stop there, as fans can expect even more exciting news about the future of Maneater soon.”
Maneater first launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store on May 22, and has since sold over one million units. It is also planned for release on the Nintendo Switch.
