He couldn’t believe his eyes, but confident that what he saw was very real, Cattrell ran into Matawan to warn everyone. When he crossed over Matawan’s new trolley drawbridge he noticed something that seemed almost impossible: a huge shark was heading up the inland waterway. A retired fishing boat captain, Thomas Cattrell, was walking home after a successful day of fishing. Swimmers here were confined to the Matawan Creek, a narrow tidal creek that wound its way to the bay. Thirty miles farther north, residents of Matawan, a small town 11 miles inland from the open ocean, naturally felt that they were safe from attacks.

#MANEATER SHARKS FULL#
It was July 1, 1916, and in Beach Haven the tourist season was in full swing. In the meantime, you’ll have to settle for the ten hours of playtime we’ve been given so far! Maneater is now available for purchase on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.Nearly 60 years before Peter Benchley’s novel “Jaws,” a real man-eater lurked the waters of the New Jersey coast. However, once the game has been successfully adapted for the Switch, developers could possibly begin working on some DLC. It’s also worth noting that Maneater is going to be released on the Nintendo Switch sometime in 2020, so developers are likely focused on that project right now. However, it’s really unclear at the time of writing if any DLC is coming in the near future. In an interview with Indie Obscura, Tripwire’s John Gibson declined to comment about any Maneater DLC plans, indicating that the team could be tossing around some different ideas, but hadn’t settled on anything quite yet.

This allows players to play the game as a Tiger Shark, instead of the Bull Shark, which is essentially capable of destroying everything in its path. It’s also worth noting that there is technically a DLC that has been released already, the Tiger Shark Adaptation. However, these talks are simply industry rumors at the time and have not been publically confirmed by Tripwire. Here’s what we know so far! What are the Maneater DLC Plans?Īt the time of writing, there are no public DLC plans for Maneater. However, not all hope is lost, as there is some talk that the development team at Tripwire is being split into two groups, one focused on main game updates and another focused on DLC.
While the game itself only takes about ten hours to beat, some are wondering if developers will continue to expand the story with some DLC. If you’ve enjoyed swimming through the sea and destroying everything in your path, then odds are you’re interested in learning more about potential ManeaterDLC plans.
