All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The New Year celebration has arrived, bringing fresh content, gameplay improvements, and festive rewards. Here’s everything you need to know:

New Content & Updates

  • New Year’s fairs are now open at the water bodies — stop by and grab some festive goodies.

  • A revamped version of the Winding Rivulet is live. Familiar waters, fresh experience.

  • Fishing shops have expanded their selection of spinning reels.

  • Workshops now offer more spare parts for the Tama SAL5000 and Aquatica Castmaster LGR1973 reels.

  • A new catch information screen has been added, showing detailed stats about the fish you’ve just caught — including how it compares to your personal records.

Gameplay Improvements

  • Loosening snags is now easier in many situations, especially when using telescopic rods.

  • Fish behavior during fights has been improved. Fish are now more active in shallow water and tight spaces.

Fixes

  • Fixed rendering issues with background vegetation.

  • Fixed a bug where stale bait fish continued to move around.

  • Fixed an issue where rigs could get caught on boats.

Water body Reset

  • The Winding Rivulet has been reset. Fish may change their habitats and bait or lure preferences, so don’t be afraid to experiment again.

New Year’s Event

  • New Year’s quests are now available!

  • Log in before February 1, 2026 (12:00 am UTC) to unlock the event.

  • Complete the quests over the next 60 days to earn unique rewards, including unique New Year-themed character clothing.

Discounts & Bonuses

  • From December 22, 2025 (09:00 am UTC) to January 12, 2026 (09:00 am UTC), enjoy a 25% discount on gold coins and premium subscriptions.

  • The Happy Hour bonus is available to all players until January 12, 2026 (12:00 am UTC).

  • Premium subscribers get double the duration.

  • Important: If you activate your Happy Hour and then purchase or activate Premium during its active period, the bonus extension will apply when the next time Happy Hour is activated (after 24 hours).

See you on the water's edge, and happy fishing into the New Year!
