Tripwire’s ‘Maneater’ Confirmed to be Receiving DLC
We love Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater, which is probably the best “not Jaws” game yet. But really, it could use some DLC, couldn’t it? Well, lucky for you, Tripwire is going to remedy that.
During a recent Reddit AMA, art director Sean McBride was asked just such a question. His response: “DLC has been confirmed! The team has been working on it for a while now. Hoping to share more information very soon.”
Granted, it’s not much to go on at the moment, but that’s music to many of the fans’ ears. You can start to speculate as to what that DLC will entail.
In the meantime, Maneater is currently available on the PlayStation 5 for PS Plus subscribers this month, so check out the next-gen upgrades to the game while you wait for more DLC info. PC gamers will be getting these same upgrades down the road on the Epic Games Store version.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
