Known Issues: We are aware of an issue with setup templates, where grey squares appear in place of missing items. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix and will resolve this as soon as possible. In the meantime, these squares typically disappear after some interaction with the Templates list. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This update will soon be available on consoles, and we are actively working on resolving the remaining issues to bring the new Dnipro River map to mobile platforms. It will still take at least several weeks before we will be able to release it.

Thank you for your patience, valuable feedback and support as we continue to refine and enhance Fishing Planet!

Tight lines and happy fishing!

Dear Anglers,
This year has been an extraordinary one for us, as we turned two of our long-standing dreams into reality. The Ocean Update, an idea we envisioned from the very beginning, introduced the vast open seas and the Fishing Together feature, allowing friends to fish side by side on the same boat. Additionally, we finally brought the Dnipro River—our home location—to life, a cherished project that had been long overdue.

Over the past year, so much has happened in Fishing Planet:
🎣 The Club Leagues Season, which, despite its challenges, still brought many players together.
🏆 11 thrilling tournaments and thousands of competitions.
🎃 A brand-new Halloween Event that was both challenging and exciting.
🛠️ 10 major bug-fix patches across 7 platforms, improving the game experience.
🌊 Saltwater and freshwater trolling were introduced to the game.
🛥️ Hundreds of new items, from saltwater yachts to a variety of new tackle, outfits, event items and rewards.

Someone joked that "Fishing Planet was cooking this year," and they weren’t wrong—but what we want you to know is that this was just the appetizer! There’s so much more in store for next year, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

We are deeply grateful for your support and feedback, which drives us to keep improving and growing. While some features take longer to implement and not everything may be possible immediately, we want you to know that we are always listening and doing our best to enhance the game for you.

As we wrap up this year, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful holiday season. May your Christmas be filled with warmth and happiness, and may the New Year bring you success, good health, and, of course, plenty of unique catches!

Thank you for being part of our amazing community. Here’s to an even more exciting 2025, together!

Tight lines and yours faithfully,
The Fishing Planet Team
