Our Maneater 2 game hub has the key facts at a glance. This page goes into more detail, and we’ll keep it updated as more is confirmed.
What is Maneater 2?
Maneater 2 is the sequel to the open-world shark RPG, from Tripwire Interactive with Demiurge Studios as co-developer. You eat, explore and evolve as you try to escape an invite-only preview event for Neptune’s Kingdom, an ultra-luxury seaside theme park destined for disaster, and you are that disaster.
The park’s waters are stocked with prey, from pufferfish, jumbo crab and piranha to grouper, and humans too. The open world is yours to roam: take in the monumental architecture, wreck a thrill ride, grab a snack at Mojitodale and find secrets lurking in the depths.
When is the Maneater 2 release date?
It’s due in 2027. Tripwire’s September announcement confirmed the 2027 window and Demiurge Studios as co-developer. There’s no exact day yet.
Is Maneater 2 on Game Pass?
Not so far. No Game Pass deal has been announced, and the Xbox Store listing doesn’t include it in any Game Pass plan. We’ll update this page if that changes.
Which Xbox platforms is Maneater 2 on, and is it Play Anywhere?
It’s confirmed for Xbox Series X|S. The Xbox Store listing also lists the Xbox PC app, but it doesn’t show the Xbox Play Anywhere badge, so we’re treating Play Anywhere as unconfirmed for now.
How much will Maneater 2 cost?
Xbox pricing hasn’t been announced yet. When we checked on 9 November 2026, the Xbox Store listing had no purchase option or price, which is normal this far from launch. We’ll add the price in pounds and dollars once it’s listed.
Does Maneater 2 have achievements?
No list has been published yet, and the Xbox Store doesn’t show achievements as a feature so far. We’ll add the count once Xbox confirms it.
What’s the latest on Maneater 2?
On 9 November 2026, Tripwire Interactive said it had cut 36 jobs, but named active development of Maneater 2 as one of the studio’s three priorities. Read our report: Tripwire cuts 36 jobs as work on Killing Floor 3 continues.
