Dear Players, We’ve received comments and support requests from some of you regarding bans related to Denuvo anti-cheat reports, and we understand there are concerns about the accuracy of these restrictions. Our goal is to maintain a positive community atmosphere, ensure fair gameplay, and provide safety for all our players. We want to clear up any misunderstandings about these bans in this post. Our game utilizes the Denuvo anti-cheat system for PC players to detect the use of third-party software or other means that may subvert game mechanics and gain an unfair advantage. Such actions are strictly prohibited by our EULA. When the system detects such software, we review the activity and enforce account restrictions in accordance with our rules. We’ve also been asked if Denuvo might falsely report developers who use their work tools while playing the game. We want to assure you that we have not encountered any false positives of this nature. Our developers regularly play the game using their tools, and we’ve also conducted extensive testing to ensure accuracy. To maintain the integrity of our security measures, we cannot disclose specific details about the exact software it detects. However, rest assured that the system is designed specifically to identify software that interferes with game mechanics for cheating purposes. Additionally, we carefully review support requests and examine restricted accounts to ensure no mistakes were made, and every time we find proof our anti-cheat system works correctly. We also advise against using any kind of cheating software of unknown origin downloaded from the internet, as it may not only result in a banned account in Fishing Planet but could also pose serious security risks, including malware that might compromise sensitive data such as payment information. We hope this helps clarify things. We care about our community and want to make sure everyone feels safe and enjoys the game. Tight lines, and thanks to all who play the game fairly!

Dear players, We have prepared a huge bug fix patch for you today. It has been released on all the platforms: Steam/Epic Games - 5.0.5, PlayStation - 5.08, Xbox/Microsoft Store - 2.03, IOS/Android - 1.0.25. We’ve taken your feedback into account regarding XP and credits for fish in Kaiji No Ri and have made some adjustments. The prices for fish have increased, and you'll now earn more XP when trolling with saltwater gear. XP in Fishing Together sessions has also been boosted - the more players on the boat, the more XP each of you will receive. Additionally, don’t forget that you get an XP bonus when fishing with your club mates, so fishing with them on the same boat is always a win-win. We’ve also modified the fish fights, making it easier to reel in big catches faster, and as a result allowing you to gain more XP in less time. After receiving feedback about the Fishing Together Mastering Missions being too difficult, we've made some adjustments to make them more achievable. The amounts of fish needed to catch in all three missions have been reduced. The name of the mission "Fishing Together Hunt: Plugs" was changed to "Fishing Together Hunt: Trolling", and plugs are no longer required lures for completing the mission, now you can use any trolling lures of your choice. Here’s a detailed list of what’s been fixed and improved: 1. Fixed the character appearing in the water after reconnecting the Fishing Together session host in the game. Yes, the drowning guy bug that many of you liked 2. Fixed the issue of disappearing reel sounds in Japan. 3. Addressed the issue of birds' sounds playing incorrectly. 4.

Hey Anglers, The most expected update in the Fishing Planet’s history has finally arrived to IOS and Android! 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 new ocean scene. New settings options. Players can now adjust the volume of boat sounds and regulate water quality with more precision. Third-party ads have been removed from the game on mobile platforms to ensure smooth and uninterrupted gameplay. 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!

Dear Anglers, We have just released a hotfix patch for PlayStation and Xbox, but there are also a few things that we would like to share with players on all the platforms. Thank you for all your bug reports and feedback on the Ocean Update. We're working diligently to investigate and resolve these issues as quickly as possible. We understand you want to help and send the reports in all possible channels, but we would like to kindly ask you to send them to support@fishingplanet.com, it will help us manage and address your reports faster and more effectively. Thank you! For mobile players eagerly awaiting the Ocean Update on Android and iOS, we anticipate being able to announce the release date sometime next week. We appreciate your patience - it won’t be much longer now. Stay tuned for the updates! We also want to address a specific concern raised by our players regarding Collection missions on the Kaiji No Ri location. These missions required players to catch and keep fish, which wasn't possible for big fish on the rental boat. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We have now adjusted these missions on all platforms so that catching the fish is sufficient for completion; keeping the fish is no longer necessary. Please, also note that for the Monster missions it is not mandatory to keep the Monster fish either, you just need to catch it to complete the mission. Another issue we've addressed is the behavior of large fish and bass boats. Although it's not realistic for a 50 kg fish to drag a 500 kg boat, we understand that players enjoy this feature. We've made adjustments so that big fish will once again drag bass boats. The effect won't be as pronounced as before, but the boats will be dragged by the big fish. This has just been released on consoles and will be soon released on Steam and Epic Games with the next hotfix patch on these platforms. Here is a list of other issues that have been fixed and improved: Fixed an instant reeling bug when moving the boat in reverse while reeling in the fish. Fixed loud sounds of water splashes in freshwater locations. Fixed a bug where a guest in a Fishing Together session would see the host's cast rod detach from the boat and move away. Fixed a game freeze that occurred after catching a fish that resulted in a new level. Fixed an issue where the on-screen keyboard appears when sharing a template. When closing the registration HUD after registering in a competition it now works correctly. Fixed an issue where a created custom competition wouldn’t close if the player was on a waterway before. Fixed an issue where land turned pink on the tablet map and yacht's Fish Finder. Fixed an issue where land on the Map or some parts of it turned black on all the waterways. Fixed a client blocking issue that occurred if a player took out the tablet right after moving from the captain’s bridge to the back of the boat. On consoles, the Ukrainian letter "і" is now correctly displayed in the store. Fixed a category selection bug in the store with a controller, when the categories are in two columns. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these issues. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve the game. Thank you for your continued support. Tight lines, The Fishing Planet Team

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.

Hey Anglers, The most expected release note in the Fishing Planet’s history has arrived. Let’s go! Here is what’s new: Kaiji No Ri, Japan 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 their preferred option! Ocean water simulation 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. 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 are now equipped 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 New special buoys, available on the new location, used 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 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 was added to the Premium Shop as well. 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 four-seater boat, a 60-day pond pass with an advanced license, and more marker and navigation buoys. Steam EpicGames 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. Steam EpicGames Saltwater trolling 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 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 Gaff animation for the retrieval and retention of large ocean fish. New Competitive Activities and Rewards 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. New anti-cheating solution We are dedicated to providing a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for everyone. To combat cheating and ensure a level playing field, we integrated the Denuvo Anti-Cheat system for Steam and Epic Games Store players. This decision highlights our commitment to maintaining the integrity of our game and protecting our community from unfair practices. You can find out more about it here: https://fishingplanet.com/pc/Denuvo.htm A small but nice new 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. Reel of Fortune After many player requests, The Reel of Fortune is finally available on Steam and Epic Games! Time forwarding cooldown has been added during nighttime The day cooldown was originally implemented when night fishing wasn't part of the game, the night cooldown became necessary later on. Considering the numerous fish species in the ocean actively biting during both day and night, adding the night cooldown was essential with this update. An important thing to note is that there won’t be any cooldown for forwarding time to the next morning when selling fish. 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. 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. Numerous bug fixes and enhancements 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. As the bugfix list is very long, we suggest reading it in a different article HERE. We're thrilled to announce the completion of this monumental update 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! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: Discord Facebook Group Steam Community Read previous DevDiaries on the ocean update: DevDiary: Fishing Together DevDiary: Kaiji No Ri Fish Species Guide DevDiary: Exploring Kaiji No Ri DevDiary: Introducing Ocean Tackles
