Maneater is a single-player action-RPG (aka a shARkPG), players must fight to survive as a baby bull shark. Grow in power as you explore a wide range of underwater environments, from swamps and rivers to beachside resorts and the deep blue sea. Your only tools are your wits, your jaws, and the uncanny ability to evolve as you feed. Eat, explore, and evolve the ultimate killing machine in Maneater — coming soon on May 22, 2020 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, and PC (via the Epic Games Store), followed by a release for the Nintendo Switch at a later date. Be sure to visit the official website and follow the Maneater team on Twitter and Facebook.
PAX East attendees can look forward to the first-ever, public hands-on demo for Maneater. Players will get a taste for blood with the game’s prologue, learn the basics of controlling an apex predator, feed on wildlife and humans, fight off shark hunters, and meet the game’s antagonist, Scaly Pete.
Chivalry 2 is a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles where players will experience the thrill of combat in massive 64-player battlefields brought to life. Players will immerse themselves in the sounds and sights of battle as they are thrust into iconic moments of the era, from the heavy thunder of cavalry charges to forest ambushes, sprawling castle sieges, and good old looting and pillaging. Survive waves of fiery arrows raining down from above, slay multiple enemies with a single strike and ride to war on horseback to claim glory by your blade. Riveting sound and effects ensure every blow lands with the sickening thud of steel sinking into bone. Based heavily on player feedback, Chivalry 2 also introduces a revamped, faster, and more fluid combat system that also offers an expanded range of creative choices, allowing players to perfect their own strategy and playstyle. The ability to fight through the pain while wounded or bleeding out and roll back to your feet from the ground or fight on even when down a limb gives players the chance to become a hero or die a good death. To stay up to date on the latest for Chivalry 2, be sure to visit the official Chivalry 2 website, forums, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
PAX East attendees will be some of the first in the world to experience the return of the ultimate medieval battlefield with Chivalry 2! Prepare yourself for battle with Team Objective Mode set on Lionspire map. Attendees are invited to fight for honor with team blue and team red in 18 vs 18 player battles.
