Dear Anglers,

Welcome to Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's major islands. Here, among winding rivers, beautiful lakes, and clear mountain springs, it’s easy to find your own slice of fishing paradise.

When you’ve found the perfect fishing spot, be prepared to encounter 19 diverse species, including iconic ones exclusive to this reserve. You’ll discover fish like the Feral Koi, Amur Catfish, Northern Snakehead, and Chum Salmon. You can even track down an elusive new crustacean: the Japanese Freshwater Crab.

Kamuibetsu National Park also features new story missions and challenges. In the main storyline, you’ll learn about Kamuibetsu’s history and join the locals in planting seeds for the future. You can also complete fishing challenges, find hidden caches and collectibles, and capture various locations to earn additional rewards.

Like all of our reserves, players who own Japan will be able to invite friends with the base game to join even if they don’t own the reserve.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kamuibetsu National Park soon!

Kamuibetsu National Park, the Japan Fishing Reserve, will launch on October 29 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store for 9.99 USD|9.99 EUR|9.99 GBP. It will be available on PC via Steam for 9.99 USD|9.75 EUR|8.50 GBP.

Additionally, a free update will be available for all players next week, introducing new variations for a variety of fish species, including the Burbot, Wels Catfish, and Kokanee Salmon, featuring different colorings, scars, and more. These variations will ensure that no two catches are the same! Also, coming October 24, look out for ghostly sightings in the waters as Halloween arrives at Golden Ridge Reserve with a new themed mini-game and seasonal cosmetics.

Morning leaves ablaze
Descend into the river
And rise with the sun
