In perhaps the biggest surprise of the latest State of Play, Tripwire Interactive has announced Maneater 2, a sequel to its beloved shark action game.
Check out the announcement trailer below:
In all honesty, it looks like more of the same daft action I remember from the original. You play as the sea's apex predator, chowing down on other creatures to gain strength and grow larger — and more dangerous.

The setup is quite fun; your task is to escape Neptune's Kingdom, a luxury seaside theme park that's rife with opportunities to cause havoc and feast on those pathetic humans.
It looks very silly and I'm totally here for it.
Maneater 2 is coming to PS5 in 2027 — are you gonna pick this one up? Tell us in the comments section below.

See, this is what should close the show.
DAY ONE
Nice to see this get a sequel was one of the first games I played on my PS5 on day one.
The trailer for this one was pretty entertaining. Could be camp fun if it’s representative of the actual game.
Great, I really enjoyed the first one.
Actually, this reminds me. When I played the original Maneater on PS5 one of the trophies glitched and robbed me of the platinum. Heartbreak.
Didn't expect this game to get a sequel but happy to see it
Only one of few I was interested in from presentation, really enjoyed 1st one. Terrible state of play from PS
Glad this got a sequel. Loved the first one
First game is a ton of fun so i'm excited for this.
I tried to play the first one but once I reached the second area I ran into a loop of crashes. I tested it on both the base model and the Pro, same thing. I looked into it and some people had crashes, others didn't, no one knew why. I don't like to call a game broken because someone did work on it, but that game was so broken when I tried it. Hopefully Two is better, from what I did see it was a fun game, it felt Retro and unserious, those kinds of games have a place in modern gaming too. Perhaps I'll try a reinstall eventually, maybe it's been patched since then, it was a while back.
If it's dumb fun like the first, count me in.
Looks great i loved the original game
Maneater was my first platinum. Had a blast with that game.
I completed the original fully on the Xbox and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to this.
I loved the first one. Looking forward to this one
Let's gooooo!!!!! Loved the first one, day one for me!
As others have said, I really enjoyed the first one. I am absolutely in for a sequel!
I really hope they get Hall and Oates' blessing to use the song, "Maneater", this time around.
Best announcement of the SoP by far. So stoked for this. Maneater was entertaining af in a popcorn summer blockbuster schlock horror movie sort of way.
This was a pleasant surprise, and I'm all in.
I'd still love to see the developers tackle an ECCO the Dolphin game though.
