E3 2018: Tripwire Announces Brand New MANEATER: RPG Let’s You Play as the Shark
You’re going to need a bigger PC!
It’s summer, so horror fans are looking forward to Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, an event which usually corresponds with a beach-themed genre blockbuster: 2016 gave us The Shallows, 2017 descended 47 Meter’s Down, and this August, horror fans will meet The Meg.
This year, you can actually dive in to shark-infested waters—digitally!
Tripwire just announced a brand-new game that’s every Jaws fan’s worst nightmare—but this is no regular RPG: This time, you’re the shark! Consider Maneater the world’s first “SPG”! The more tourists you eat, the bigger you grow, the faster you get, and the sharper your teeth become! The trailer is more fun than a barrel of piranhas! Give it a gander:

Synopsis:
A SINGLEPLAYER ACTION RPG SET IN A DARK AQUATIC WORLD!
Maneater is a Single-Player Action RPG, set in the unforgiving waters of the Gulf Coast. Fight to survive in the open ocean, with danger lurking at every depth. Your only tools are your wits, your jaws, and an uncanny ability to evolve as you feed. Anything and everything is on the menu… kill or be killed.
Become a MANEATER
Play as a giant Bull Shark and terrorize the coastal waterways. Tear swimmers and divers limb from limb, give the humans a reason to fear you.
Explore a Massive OpenWorld
Immerse yourself in a living, breathing world full of threats, and rewards. Explore sunken wrecks, lurk in swamps, or just cruise the open ocean looking for whales to feed on.
A Tale of Revenge
Experience a compelling tale of revenge centered around a human who slaughtered your mother and left you for dead. The ocean isn’t big enough for both of you.
