The first batch of DLC for self-proclaimed ShARkPG and marauding apex predator sim, Maneater, arrives on August 31st, developer Tripwire Interactive announced today. Picking up where Maneater‘s story concluded, the Maneater: Truth Quest DLC launches simultaneously for players on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via either the Epic Games Store or Steam.

With fresh waters to explore around a brand-new island, Maneater: Truth Quest packs in a bundle of new content. Included are new challengers, wildlife, enemies, objectives, and evolutions, all wrapped in a good dose of intrigue provided by a conspiracy theory with the titular Maneater at its center.

Watch the new Maneater: Truth Quest “Site P” trailer below to get a sense of what’s in store.

Maneater: Truth Quest DLC Details

Here’s a breakdown of the new features in Maneater: Truth Quest as volunteered by Tripwire Interactive.

New Evolutions

  • New Evolution Set
  • Maximum level cap increased to 40
  • Five new organ evolutions with one additional organ slot unlocked at level 35 (requires DLC ownership)

New Wildlife

  • “Uber” Apex Predator
  • New evolved hunt creatures

New Military Forces for Bounty Hunter System

  • Military land forces will launch attacks from beaches and fortifications
  • Helicopters will hunt by air
  • Five new Bounty Bosses
  • New weapons and vehicles for military Bounty Hunters

New Objective Types

  • Failure to Communicate: Tail-whip objects to destroy the target objective
  • Time Trial: Swim through the rings before time runs out!

Naturally, a full copy of Maneater is required to play Maneater: Truth Quest. A free 15-minute gameplay ‘pilot episode’ is planned for release to give players a taste of the DLC. No official word on a release date for the episode, but before Maneater: Truth Quest‘s August 31st release seems a sensible assumption.
