Januar zwei PS4-Titel: Das Action-Abenteuer Shadow of the Tomb Raider und das Action-RPG Greedfall. Am selben Tag können Besitzer der PlayStation 5 mit einer PS Plus-Mitgliedschaft ein furchterregendes Riesenraubtier im Open-World-RPG (oder eher Open-Sea-RPG?) Maneater* spielen.

Hier weitere Details zu den Spielen:

Maneater* (PS5-Version)

Erlebt die ultimative Machtfantasie als das bekannteste Meeresraubtier – ein furchterregender weißer Hai! Maneater ist ein Open-World-Action-RPG (ShaRkPG) für Einzelspieler – und ihr seid der Hai. Ihr beginnt als kleines Haifischjunges und müsst in der rauen Welt überleben, während ihr euch im Ökosystem nach oben fresst. Nebenbei erkundet ihr eine große und abwechslungsreiche grenzenlose Welt und trefft auf verschiedenste Gegner – sowohl Menschen als auch Wildtiere. Mit den richtigen Ressourcen könnt ihr wachsen und euch weit über die Maximalgröße hinaus entwickeln, die die Natur vorgesehen hat. So kann jeder Spieler den Hai an seinen Spielstil anpassen. Fresst. Erkundet. Wachst.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4-Spiel)

Kämpft, erforscht, stellt Gegenstände her und überlebt im dichten und gefährlichen Dschungel Südamerikas in Lara Crofts bisher größtem Abenteuer, während ihr die Welt vor einer Maya-Apokalypse retten wollt. Sammelt Ressourcen und bezwingt das gnadenlose Terrain. Eure Gegner verfügen über mehr Waffen und sind deutlich in der Überzahl, daher müsst ihr die Umgebung zu eurem Vorteil nutzen: Greift aus dem Schatten heraus an und verwendet Schlamm, um euch zu tarnen. Nutzt fortgeschrittene Fortbewegungstechniken, um längst vergessene Gräber zu erreichen und Rätsel zu lösen, die ein tödliches Ende haben können.

Maneater Swims Onto PS4 Tomorrow

Reading Time: 3 minutes
On the eve of a game launch, it’s hard not to get nostalgic about the journey that brought us here. For the team at Tripwire, it started with a goal: if we’re going to make an open world game, it has to be something special; something uniquely Tripwire. Even in its simplest form, playing as a bloodthirsty shark fulfilled a power fantasy unlike any other. So we got to work; refining this raw idea until it became Maneater: Tripwire’s first foray into the open-world genre.

We’ve poured our hearts and souls into this game, and we’re extremely excited to finally share it with the world. Here’s a quick rundown of all we’ve done to create the ultimate power fantasy in Maneater.

The Shark

In order to make the player truly feel like they’re a ferocious shark, we spent a lot of time refining all of its movements and attacks so that it moves and behaves realistically. Traversing through the world is fast and fluid, and there are all kinds of visceral attacks that you can perform; even a whipshot move that will launch unlucky creatures as a projectile.

Like a lot of open-world RPGs, much of Maneater’s progression is tied to upgrading your Shark’s abilities. The key difference is, the player shark actually grows bigger and more powerful as you level up! As you gain XP and gather nutrients, you’ll go from an infant shark pup to an elder beast of legend; complete with crazy evolutions that modify combat in new ways. This is truly the power fantasy’s secret sauce. Going from almost helpless to a battering ram with fins and teeth is an extremely fun way to experience a classic revenge tale.

Speaking of story…

The World

Okay so we’ve talked about all of the sweet toys we’ve put into Maneater, now it’s time to talk about the sandbox you’ll play in.

There are eight regions in Maneater’s open world, and each of them are jam-packed with their very own unique ecosystems full of tasty fish, unassuming vacationers, fierce shark hunters, and even some dangerous predators. There truly is something to do or discover around every turn.

In Maneater, you are the star shark in a “Man vs. Nature” reality show documenting your rivalry with maverick shark hunter Scaly Pete. The narrator, voiced by SNL alum Chris Parnell, will occasionally chime in with some fun, sometimes educational and witty dialogue that tells you a little bit more about the world you’re inhabiting. By injecting the game with just the right amount of satire, we landed on a story that really adds some lightheartedness to the visceral gameplay. The game’s still a ridiculous bloodbath, but it’s a bloodbath with HUMOR!
