Maneater-CPY

The team was inspired by Jaws Unleashed and other action RPGs such as Deus Ex and Dishonored while working on the title. According to John Gibson, the president of Tripwire, the game has always wanted to make an open world title similar to games like Far Cry and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, though the team wanted their take on the genre to be “completely new and unique”. The cmobat system was inspired by Punch Out and Dark Souls, as the player need to think tactically and discern an opponent’s attack pattern.

The game is being developed by Blindside Interactive alongside publisher Tripwire Interactive. The game’s production is led by Alex Quick, who worked on the competitive multiplayer game Depth in which players assume control of either a shark or a diver as they combat each other. Initially envisioned as an expansion for Depth, the title becomes a standalone product after members of the development team splintered off and worked on a single-player experience that builds on the gameplay systems established by Depth.
