Maneater 2 Looks Like A Dang Hoot (FYI, The Shark Can Wallrun Now)
Tripwire Interactive has announced Maneater 2 during Sony’s State of Play event, with the sequel heading to PS5 in 2027. The action-RPG continues the franchise’s premise of playing as a vengeful shark seeking revenge against those who killed its mother. The sequel introduces expanded mechanics, including wallrunning abilities that add new dimensions to the shark’s arsenal during exploration and combat. The original Maneater delivered unexpected depth beneath its unconventional premise of being a playable shark protagonist, earning appreciation for blending humor with substantive gameplay. The announcement of Maneater 2 stood out among State of Play reveals dominated by high-production AAA titles like Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, offering a refreshingly different take on action gaming. Players will begin as a baby shark and evolve as they progress through the game world, with the sequel promising to maintain the action-RPG format while expanding the abilities and scenarios available to the player.
