At this year’s E3, video game studio Tripwire Interactive showed off an action-packed new trailer for their upcoming shark RPG, Maneater at the PC Gaming Show E3 2019 press conference. The game was originally announced at E3 2018, so it is only fitting that we get treated to more of an in-depth look this year.

The new trailer takes players on a deep dive through the unforgiving waters of the Gulf Coast, where players will experience the ultimate power fantasy as they progress from a baby bull shark to a legendary beast. You’ll also meet Scaly Pete, the game’s lead antagonist and star of the in-game wildlife reality television show, Shark Hunters vs Maneaters. The show pits Scaly Pete, a fisherman hell bent on revenge for his father’s death by a monstrous shark, against a baby Bull Shark that was torn from his mother’s belly. These dueling tales of revenge between man and man eater play out in-game as players lead the young baby shark on its journey to become the ultimate apex predator.
Tripwire also announced that the role of Scaly Pete will be voiced by actor Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live, Rick and Morty, Archer, 30 Rock).
It was also previously announced that the game’s PC version will support NVIDIA Ansel to capture in-game screenshots. This will allow players to compose high-quality screenshots, from any position, adjust them with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high-fidelity formats, and share them in 360 degrees with mobile phone, PC, or VR headset.
Maneater will debut on the Epic Games Store and release on other PC platforms twelve months later. Visit the official website and follow the dev team on Twitter and Facebook for more updates, coming soon.
