Tripwire Interactive and Demiruge Studios have confirmed the sequel to the shark-simulation title Maneater. This announcement matters because it extends a unique gaming niche to the latest generation of consoles and PC storefronts. Players who enjoyed the original’s chaotic open-world gameplay now have a confirmed timeline for the next installment.
Shark simulation sequel heads to PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC in 2027
The game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. You play as a shark navigating Neptune’s Kingdom, an ultra-luxury seaside theme park. The setting is designed to be a disaster zone where you are the primary cause of destruction.
Tripwire Interactive described the title as the return of the "splash-hit ShaRkPG" genre. The core loop involves eating, exploring, and evolving as you escape an invite-only preview event. The narrative is driven by Trip Westhaven, who provides the shark's voice and commentary throughout the adventure.
The entire project is scheduled for release in 2027. The extended development period allows the team to polish the evolutionary systems and the setting. The extended timeline indicates a focus on creating a detailed and interactive world for players to disrupt.

Maneater 2 is confirmed for a 2027 release across four major platforms. The game features a voiced narrator and a theme park setting. Players can expect to eat, explore, and evolve in this new open-world environment.
