Dear Players,


today I am glad to announce that after the first release of Ultimate Fishing Simulator in 2017 (early access) we will prepare the new version of the game! But before we will talk about it...


The first version of the game will receive not one but two DLC's which will be the last one. Next DLC will be located in Japan, near Mount Fuji. You will be able to catch there long-awaited Tench and more!

DLC should be released by the end of the April. The last DLC should be released in mid of 2020 and we would like to create something special.

Maybe we should do a survey? What do you think?


The second instalment of the simulator aims to stand out thanks to, among others, vastly improved graphics, optional third-person view (TPP), as well as new dynamic water and fish AI systems. The game will get various other new features and changes. This means, for example, the models of other players being visible in the multiplayer mode, a modified and refined underwater camera (close-ups on the hook and fish), as well as the possibility to fish at a given fishery at different times of the year.

Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 will be a proposition not only for fans of virtual fishing. The simulator will also offer a suitably simplified mode for new players who have not had previous contact with fishing and games of this type.

Hello! Today we would like to ask you for 5 minutes of your time! We were thinking lately about adding a sandbox mode to the game.

But, we don't want to do this if the community will don't agree with our idea.

You can fill out this (really) short survey here:
