Maneater, a game that in itself feels like an April Fool’s joke (in a good way), is getting its first story expansion this summer. Truth Quest picks up where the original game’s story left off and sees players unravel a dark military conspiracy. 

Your bull shark hero protagonist returns as does journalist Trip Westhaven, who has been driven a bit mad since the events of the base campaign. He's on a mission to prove to his fans that the wacky shark abilities players put on display are the result of a massive government cover-up and falls down rabbit hole of conspiracies to do it. Truth Quest opens a new region of Port Clovis for players to explore and gives them a new bag of tricks as players once again eat and evolve their way through the plot.

The level cap has been raised to 40, and the shark gains five new organ evolutions with one extra organ slot unlocked when players hit the new level cap. Your maximum shark size has also increased. New evolved hunt creatures as well as a new “Uber” Apex Predator prowl the deep. There are also new threats from above as military forces will now attack from beaches and fortifications and helicopters can strike from the sky. If that’s not enough, Bounty Hunters gain new weapons and vehicles. Truth Quest also adds five new Bounty Bosses.

Additional objectives have also been added. Failure to Communicate tasks players with tail-whipping objects to destroy an objective. Time Trial takes a page from Superman 64 by challenging players to swim through rings before time expires. 

If all of that sounds dandy, you can pick up Truth Quest for all available versions of Maneater for $14.99. There’s no exact release date for the expansion yet than “this summer”. You’ll need to own the base game in order to access the DLC (which a number of you may have recently acquired thanks to PS Plus). In case you missed it, original Maneater is also coming to Switch on May 25. 

Maneater was a strange but pleasant surprise when it launched in May 2020. The “Shark-PG” gave players control of a shark that basically gains superpowers, which players use to devour any and everything across an open ocean. It’s incredibly silly and you can watch us play it for an idea of what to expect, but Andrew Reiner sums up the game’s appeal in his review:

“Maneater is an enjoyable hunt that satisfies in its shark mayhem and story of revenge. The action is a bit repetitive and chaotic, but the goofiness of the violence ends up winning out. This is the first shark game I’ve truly enjoyed. It has cult classic written all over it.”

Will you be diving back into Maneater with Truth Quest? Let us know in the comments!

Resident Evil Village looks cool and all, but what we all can't stop talking about is the Big Tall Vampire Lady, also known as Lady Dimitrescu. This massively tall character took the gaming world by storm – it even took over the KFC Dating Sim game – and now one Resident Evil cosplayer is upping the ante when it comes to Lady Dimitrescu cosplay (not that cosplay is a competition, as long as you're having fun!). 

The cosplayer in question is Candy with the wonderful photography and makeup done by @MilliganVick. The result from this pairing? A cosplay so good it could be in a movie:

Lady Dimitrescu rightfully took the spotlight when Capcom first introduced her prior to the PS5 Resident Evil Village demo going live. Since then, the thirst in the gaming community came out in full force and an alarmingly high amount of people begged for her to stomp on their throats (hi, it's me, I'm people).

Coming in at over 9 feet tall, we couldn't help but to also poke fun at this fan-driven phenomenon with our annual April Fool's Game Infarcer coverage, including artwork that has the Big Tall Vampire Lady crushing Mr. X's frail-by-comparison body within her grasp. 

Thoughts on this Resident Evil cosplayer's Lady Dimitrescu cosplay? Thoughts on the character herself from what we know so far? Sound off in the comment section below and tell us all of those thirsty hot takes. 

It's April Fool's Day, which means nothing is sacred and everything is a lie. While we're celebrating with the return of Game Infarcer, Remedy Entertainment decided to celebrate by joking that you can now play Control on PlayStation 1. When the studio shared a trailer of what could Control would look like on PS1, they accidentally made us all really want it. 

The team behind Control took to Twitter to share their own contribution to April 1 and the replies show that I am very much not alone in being interested in this demake: 

Okay, you kid, but I'd definitely take a short demake.

This is the cruelest April Fools of them all.

— Prince Tybalt (@FrontlineGamer) April 1, 2021

April Fools be damned, I'll absolutely take a Control demake.

you will need an 8mb storage card for this game,they are like 150€ and yes it will get ported to N64 after PS1

I don't know if it's just my nostalgia talking or the fact that I still very much treasure my original PlayStation, but I would very much be down for a mode to be added to the game that does exactly this. It's a neat throwback to simpler times and even being "demade," it honestly still looks pretty spiffy. 

For those that haven't played Control yet, please do yourselves a favor and change that. Created by the same team that made Alan Wake (and a big nod to the game itself), Control is an astonishing action-adventure game that puts you in the role of Federal Bureau of Control's Jesse Faden. 

"With games like Max Payne and Alan Wake, Remedy has always put care into telling stories through kinetic action," said our own Ben Reeves in his review for Game Informer, scoring the game an 8.75 out of 10. "Control perfectly fits that mold, and it especially excels in its atmosphere. Remedy delivers an eerie, dreamlike experience that is hard to shake off even after you stop playing, and I loved being transported to this bizarrely fascinating world. As you explore the shifting, brutalist architecture inside the Federal Bureau of Control, you encounter an odd cast of amusing characters and interact with several seemingly ordinary objects that hold immense power, such as a mirror that sucks you into an inverted universe or a refrigerator that hurts people when no one is looking at it."

While this PlayStation 1 demake of Control will likely never see the light of day beyond an April Fool's joke, we at least have the video above and the hope in our hearts to carry on.
