It seems that the developers over at Tripwire Interactive have more to announce than the recently revealed Nintendo Switch version that is coming out this Summer. In fact, they wanted to bring something new for all platforms that Maneater is currently available on this Summer as well. To that avail, they have revealed the upcoming DLC and story expansion, Maneater: Truth Quest!
Picking up where the story left off and will take players down the rabbit hole of dark secrets and conspiracies surrounding Port Clovis and the Naval Wildlife Organization (NWO). The original stories of animals growing bone-like armor, emitting flesh-eating toxins, or using electricity as a weapon were simply just old fisherman's tales. That is until conspiracy theorists everywhere pointed to the original Maneater as solid proof of a Government coverup. Trip Westhaven, driven to the brink of madness, fires up his ViewTube channel “Truth Quest”, to take his followers, the “Questers” into deep waters in an effort to uncover the dark secrets behind this whale of a tale.
Whether you have this game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, or PC, this DLC will bring two new episodes and an entirely new region. In fact, the new features and content include:
New Evolution Set
Maximum level cap increased to 40
Five new organ evolutions with one additional organ slot unlocked at level 40
Maximum shark size increased
New Wildlife
New “Uber” Apex Predator
New evolved hunt creatures
New Military Forces for Bounty Hunter System
Military land forces will launch attacks from beaches and fortifications
Helicopters will hunt by air
Five new Bounty Bosses
New weapons and vehicles for military Bounty Hunters
New Objective Types
Failure to Communicate: Tail-whip objects to destroy the target objective
Time Trial: Swim through the rings before time runs out!
It isn’t mentioned if this DLC will also be available on the Nintendo Switch, but I would imagine that it will be on there at some point. It just may be released at a later date since it will be the newest platform that Maneater is going to be released on. For all you apex predators out there interested in knowing more about the Truth Quest, check out the reveal trailer below.
