Hey Anglers,

The most expected update in the Fishing Planet’s history has arrived to Xbox. 

Here is what’s new:

• Kaiji No Ri, Japan - a new map with an enormous 400 sq km (almost 100,000 acres) of ocean, home to 18 dynamically moving fish species, including Bluefin Tuna, Striped Marlin, Mahi Mahi, plus Bigfin Reef Squid, among others. Accessible to players at level 83, with a new maximum level cap raised to 90, this expansive location offers a wealth of new challenges and opportunities. As customary in Fishing Planet, players of lower levels can unlock access to the map by purchasing a DLC pack with a pond pass for 30 and even 60 days. This time, we're offering two DLC packs, providing you with greater flexibility and convenience in choosing your preferred option!

• As a standout feature that deserves extra attention, incredibly lifelike ocean water simulation, complete with various types of waves, including intense storms. The ocean's appearance will dynamically change based on weather conditions and wind patterns, offering a truly captivating experience. Immerse yourself further with realistic sounds of birds, wind, and water splashes, enhancing the authenticity of your ocean adventure.

• Sea Life Simulation System, featuring dynamic zones that highlight schools of predatory fish near the water's surface, birds actively hunting for bait fish, and pods of dolphins and majestic blue whales gracefully navigating the ocean depths. Immerse yourself further with additional elements such as cruise liners, regattas, and trawler boats, creating a vibrant and lifelike maritime environment that dynamically changes depending on the time of the day and weather.

• Fishing Together. Now, you can enjoy fishing with 2, 3, or 4 players on the same boat, depending on your chosen vessel. Invite your fellow anglers for a fishing party, and even let them take the wheel if you fancy. Plus, you'll earn an additional XP bonus for Fishing Together! The more anglers you have onboard, the higher the bonus for each of you. And if you're all clubmates, you'll also receive the club room XP bonus. Fishing Together also implies that the players share common fishing conditions: common bite rate, weather, and time for all participants. Rest assured it doesn’t mean that your fellow anglers can catch all of the fish and leave nothing for you. There are plenty of fish in the ocean! Dive into an exclusive series of group missions and achievements, tailored specifically for Fishing Together, a first in Fishing Planet!

• Brand new fishing yachts for ocean fishing. All the new boats are compatible for Fishing Together sessions. Rent a boat for two players using in-game credits, or opt for the Scutum™ and Volans™ Fishing Yachts accommodating 3 and 4 players respectively, available in DLC packs. All boats feature two rod holders for each player, allowing one more additional rod in hands. There’s no longer a need for a keepnet when fishing on a boat, as all boats now come with ample built-in fish storage. Equipped with state-of-the-art FishFinders 360™, these vessels detect fish across surface, mid, and bottom water layers. Navigate with precision using the new Detailed Navigation Map, Echo Sounder, Compass, and Speedometer panel.

• In addition to the boat control panel equipment, players get new Tablet software that will have not only usual tools such as already familiar to players marker buoys, but also new Navigation buoys, and additional Tabs with Echo Sounder and Fish Finder 360™, which will become available after players complete special Maintenance Adventures missions.  

• Navigation buoys are new special buoys, available on the new location, used on the fishing yachts to mark your favorite fishing spots and teleport among them for fast and easy exploration of such a vast location.

• Over 500 new saltwater items are now available in local and global shops! These additions include delicious fresh baits like spiny lobsters, flying squid, gutted fish, and innovative saltwater lures such as pilkers, plugs, squid jigs, bucktails, trolling octopuses, and teasers like squid chains. Equip yourself with the latest super powerful saltwater gear, designed to reel in massive ocean fish weighing over 270 kg (almost 600 lb)! There is a new addition to the Global shop: the Saltwater Tackle section, featuring all the saltwater items. For your convenience, these items are included in all the shop's dropdown menus. Special high-performance saltwater equipment included in the packs was also added to the Premium Shop.

• As mentioned above, two Ocean DLC packs are now available for purchase. Players can choose between two fishing yachts that hold 3 or 4 players for Fishing Together. Both packs include powerful gear, multiple baits and lures, additional storage slots, and tackle wagons for up to 300 tackles. 

The Japan Odyssey Pack offers a larger and faster four-seater boat with a bigger fish storage, a 60-day pond pass with an advanced license, and more marker and navigation buoys.

The Ocean Voyager Pack provides a smaller boat for three players, a 30-day pond pass with an advanced license, and marker and navigation buoys. Both packs allow players to bring friends and have all the necessary items for saltwater fishing. Choose the one that best suits your needs.   

• Saltwater trolling –  a fishing technique used in the ocean where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or baitfish, are drawn through the water behind a moving boat. This method targets various saltwater species, including larger pelagic fish like tuna, marlin, etc. which are known to chase moving prey. Saltwater trolling is a dynamic and exciting way to fish, offering anglers the opportunity to cover large areas of water and target a variety of species in different oceanic conditions.

• Free spool mechanics which will enhance your fishing experience, especially for bottom fishing at great depths. This feature is available on all reels in the game, whether for saltwater or freshwater fishing. It allows for precise control of your line, enabling free immersion of lures or sinkers to significant depths with an open spool and securing the line at the desired depth with a closed spool. This added functionality offers greater accuracy, especially when the bottom topography is unknown and considering the fact that the depth of the ocean will be more than 100 meters at many spots, making it easier to target specific depths and fish species.

• Completely revamped the Pull-and-Reel mechanics system to provide a more immersive and realistic fishing experience, mirroring the dynamics of ocean fishing. Expect fish fights to be more challenging but also more rewarding, as they replicate the true struggle of reeling in massive ocean catches. 

• Gaff animation for the retrieval and retention of large ocean fish. 

• 4 new Kaiji No Ri competitions, 11 achievements, 20 new exclusive saltwater X-series items.

• Dozens of new missions, including exclusive Fishing Together missions that can be accomplished only with other anglers on the same boats, and Maintenance Adventures to improve the equipment you use on your Tablet as s reward.

• A small but nice addition: meet the very first NPC in the game! The marina administrator, who works tirelessly from early morning until late night, ensures the port runs smoothly and loves cats. He might need your assistance with calibrating new navigation tools. When you spot him, don't hesitate to approach and ask if he requires any help. You will also have a chance to deliver some treats to the kitty-cats on the pier.

• Changes in deterministic user-generated competitions: as requested by players, there will be less randomness. The weather and bite rates now match real conditions on the waterways, meaning dedicated training will give you a better chance to win, making the process more fair and rewarding. This will be optional, so you can choose the way you want to play.

• New start screen. While the game loads, you'll now see a stunning 3D ocean scene featuring boats, birds, dolphins, and a whale breaching the water.

• New settings options. Players can now adjust the volume of boat sounds and regulate water quality with more precision.

• Bug fixes and optimisation solutions have been implemented, including updates to the reel damage system and drag behavior to eliminate exploits related to the "unbreakable setup”. We’ve also implemented a new wear system for tackles: freshwater items will wear out faster in ocean water, just as they do in real life.

We're thrilled to announce the completion of this monumental update on consoles and extend our gratitude to all of you for your patience during its development. We eagerly await your feedback and wish you an incredible experience out on the ocean!

It’s finally here! We’ve thoroughly counted all the points and can now announce the results of the World Bass Tour Finals! Say hello to our three Champions among the top 10 anglers, whose skills and perseverance make them the best Bass catchers! Our sincere congratulations!

But don't think about relaxing yet: remember, new tournaments are just around the corner!
