Halley's Big Catch has a release date. It arrives on Windows on October 14, 2026, and the launch trailer is on the store page now — play Cinematic Trailer at the top of this page.
What's in the trailer
Six of the game's 15+ fishing locations, in the order you'd reach them:
- Hidden Pond — Halley's home water. The log cabin, the long plank dock, lily pads and mirror-flat blue.
- Sandy Shoals — a King Mackerel skipping clear of the water off The Shooting Star.
- Bluewater Run — open-ocean trolling, with a pod of dolphins running the swell.
- Amazon Depths — a payara clearing the surface in front of the jungle bank.
- Desert Lagoon — a palm-fringed southwest reservoir, still canyon water.
- Frostbite Sound — an Arctic Char breaching through the pack ice.
About the game
A cartoon cat who loves to fish.
Every species fights differently. Runs, dives, head-shakes and aerials come out of the fish you actually hooked rather than a bigger health bar, so reading the fight and matching your rod, reel, line and bait to it is the whole game.
You start on a quiet pond behind a cabin and work your way out to deep blue water, unlocking new shores and tackle as you go — and following a trail of relics that ties them all together.
- 15+ locations, from a mirror-flat home pond to open ocean
- Species-specific fight behaviour — no inflated HP bars
- Rods, reels, lines and baits that genuinely change how a fight goes
- A catalog of fish to find, land and fill in
- A story that unfolds while you fish, not in a quest log
