v1.0.2 - Fish Fighting Update

Released: August 5, 2025

Fish Fighting Improvements

You can now let your line go slack and see it with clear visual cues to help you manage tension and avoid over-pulling. Added the ability to steer and guide the fish slightly when pulling at just the right time. Improved bubble particles to let you know when the fish is thrashing easier.

Smarter Fish Behaviour

Fish no longer sprint endlessly in one direction or head butt the lakebed. Their movement is now more natural and satisfying.

New Angler Animations

Added new animations to bring your angler to life with more personality.

Idle Mode Enhancements

You can now tweak Idle Mode to limit what can be caught passively. Introducing Screensaver Mode — no progression, no sales, no achievements. Just relax and enjoy the scenery.

New Companion

A new German Shepherd companion is available.
