Tripwire Interactive and Retail Publisher Deep Silver Bring World’s First Action-RPG Where You Play As a Shark to Nintendo Switch This Spring

ROSWELL, Ga. – 19th March, 2021 – Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive and retail co-publishing partner Deep Silver are eager to announce that the celebrated action-RPG where you play as a shark (aka shARkPG), Maneater is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system on 25th May, 2021. For the first time ever, the open waters of Port Clovis have evolved to go portable. Whether you’re on the go or in your home, you now can eat, explore, and evolve your way to the top of the food chain and become the Apex Predator of the ocean.

Out now on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC (via the Epic Games Store)—and this spring for the Nintendo Switch™ system—Maneater invites players to experience the ultimate power fantasy by controlling the apex predator of the seas—a terrifying shark!

Maneater is a single player, open-world action-RPG (ShARkPG) where YOU are the shark. Starting as a small bull shark pup you are tasked with surviving the harsh world while eating your way up the ecosystem. To do this, you will explore a large and varied open world encountering diverse enemies — both human and wildlife. Find the right resources and you can grow and evolve far beyond what nature intended, allowing the player to tailor the shark to their play style. This is fortunate, because to get revenge on the cruel fisherman that dismembered you will take evolving into a massive shark, an apex predator of legends. Eat. Explore. Evolve.

Maneater Key Features Include: 

• Eat: Feed on humans, consume nutrients, and find rare shark loot to evolve past what nature intended.
• Explore the Gulf: Explore seven large regions, including bayous of the gulf coast, resort beaches, industrial docks, the open ocean and more. Experience a living world with a full day/night cycle.
• Evolve Into a Legend: Unlock and equip various Evolutions that improve and enhance your shark as you progress through the campaign.
• Unique Story: Play through a full narrative, story-based campaign narrated by Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock) and set against the backdrop of a reality TV show.
• Diverse, Compelling Combat: Battle fierce wildlife including other apex predators or fight against various types of human hunters ranging from town drunks all the way up to the Coast Guard.
• Includes the Tiger Shark Evolution:  The Tiger Shark is often called the ‘garbage disposal of the sea.’ Appropriately enough, this evolution allows you to digest nearly anything, increasing your ability to gain vital nutrients from all varieties of prey.

With a truly unique premise and never-before-seen approach to the action-RPG genre, Tripwire Interactive looks forward to taking players on a journey through uncharted waters with Maneater.

Maneater for Nintendo Switch releases May 25, 2021 for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 MSRP with an ESRB rating of M for Mature, PEGI 18 rating, and USK 16 rating.

UBISOFT ANNOUNCES ‘CLOCKWORK’ BY NORTHLANE AS THE OFFICIAL THEME OF THE OCEANIC NATIONALS

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – March 19, 2021 – Today, Ubisoft Australia announced the official theme of the Oceanic Nationals 2021, ‘Clockwork’, by Australian musicians, Northlane.

Click the image to watch the music vdeo

‘Clockwork’ is an exciting collaboration between Ubisoft Australia and Northlane focusing on the themes of competition, time and dreaming big. The release of the song coincides and celebrates the start of the Oceanic Nationals, the premier Rainbow Six Siege tournament of the Oceanic region.

“Clockwork reflects the pressures and anxieties I felt as we jumped back into writing after an uninspiring year,” said  Marcus Bridge, Northlane lead singer. “I always want to push myself creatively but with life on hold and with no end in sight, I felt empty and lonely, running out of time as our self-imposed deadline approached.”

‘Clockwork’ came together with each member of the band recording their parts remotely before being mixed and mastered by Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery / Devin Townsend) and Ermin Hamidovic (Periphery / Sylosis) respectively, the same team behind prior album Alien.

“We’re really excited to be able to work with Northlane for the Oceanic Nationals, Rainbow Six Siege’s premier esports league in our region,” said Edward Fong, Managing Director of Ubisoft Asia Pacific.

“As esports continues to grow in Australia, it opens up more opportunities to collaborate with other industries and talent to provide our players more ways to connect with their favourite games. We’re thrilled to have Northlane’s new song ‘Clockwork’ as the theme song for our local Oceanic Nationals.”

The 2021 season of the Oceanic Nationals will begin on Sunday, March 21, with the eight best teams in Australia and New Zealand competing for a $100,000 AUD seasonal prize pool. The song will be incorporated into the broadcast on twitch.tv/Rainbow6Bravo.

‘Clockwork’ can also be streamed on all streaming platforms: https://ffm.bio/northlane

FULL CINEMATIC TRAILER FOR JUST CAUSE: MOBILE REVEALED AT SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS

New Details on the Backstory of Upcoming Action-Shooter Mobile Game Released

LONDON, UK (March 18, 2021) – SQUARE ENIX® today unveiled a full cinematic trailer for Just Cause: Mobile during the company’s first SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS digital show.

Expanding the series, Just Cause: Mobile delivers the explosive action of the Just Cause universe to your fingertips in action-packed, single-player and multiplayer experiences that offer on-the-go grappling, gliding, and shooting, all presented through exhilarating top-down gameplay. Featuring in-game cutscenes and fully voiced characters, players can customize their agent and join the ranks of Firebrand, a special division within the covert organization, “The Agency.” The mission: stop a new mercenary group under the name of Darkwater. Darkwater is a group made up of ex-Black Hand military forces from overseas that are now a major threat to The Agency across the globe. As a new recruit of Firebrand, day one starts off with a major attack on the base – one that the player narrowly escapes alive. Firebrand leader Carmen Padrón gives you the order to further investigate the mercenary group Darkwater and track down allies to assist you on your mission, including her former agency partner Rico Rodriguez

Throughout the campaign, players will come across well-known characters from the Just Cause series who will give important intel on the enemy and assist players as they embark on missions.

About Just Cause

The Just Cause series has delivered ground-breaking, open-world technology and explosive action for the last 14 years. In 2006, players were introduced to Rico Rodriguez with the release of JUST CAUSE, a game born out of a vision of complete player freedom – open-world exploration and action were at the heart of this sandbox experience. Released in 2010, JUST CAUSE 2 saw the introduction of Rico’s trademark grapple hook and the game was more expansive and explosive than the first game, in every sense. Released in 2015, JUST CAUSE 3 complemented the original grappling hook and parachute combination with a wingsuit, perfecting the game’s traversal options and allowing players to perform even more death-defying stunts. In the most ambitious Just Cause game to date, December 2018 saw the release of JUST CAUSE 4. This game took the series incredible destruction and unique physics to a whole new level with the introduction of tornadoes and other Extreme Weather events.
