The Fisherman FP in 2024

[NjRider14]

Hey folks,

I'm sure not many eyes hit this part of the sub, but I wanted to quickly talk about The Fisherman in 2024.  I'm an active player still.  I love the few differences between the FTP version and this paid version as a casual.  I read in a few places that the license expires in 2024 and that the Fishing Planet team would be taking it back.  A few posts mentioned Killerwhale brought up the topic but there are no sources to say otherwise.  Do we know if this is still the case?  If that is the case, will there be plans to eventually update the game with purchasable DLC?  The game is a great alternative to the FTP version.

There is a video on YouTube with Dimitri he says on it the license will not last forever it's a older video that was before killerwale announced it

Any updates on if this is still happening?

The only thing I can say is that on the Steam Store page, the publisher changed back to Fishing Planet LLC. We've got nothing else for now I think.

Actually we do we got three out of the four fish from the fisherman to fishing planet fisherman has a new tournament this month they added the European weather fish to level 3 waterway on fishing planet in Europe that fish is in the same location as in fisherman so a little has changed

Just noticed on the fisherman 3 of the paid DLCs have been taken off they're not even in the PlayStation store

I can still see the 3 DLC's for "The Fisherman" on Steam, did notice that Publisher for those DLC's is still listed as Nacon (unlike the main game which now lists Fishing Planet LLC as both Developer and Publisher as was mentioned above).

The three paid ones are gone blue crab the boat pack and the pack that has the white poles are gone

Getting close to June.  Saw a small file update and some tournaments.  Guess holding out hope for a bigger update isn't going to happen.  Bummer, really enjoy this version over the FTP.

There still could be hope yet

Bummer here we are in 2026.  I thought for sure when FP go their IP back for the Fisherman it would get an update.  Still fun to play and more relaxing than the FTP version. Come on FP devs, go for it  Give us that update or some DLC!  It's never too late!
