World of Fishing is a free to play (no subscription) 3D fishing simulation MMO that combines traditional MMORPG elements such as character development, leveling, quests and the hunt for the perfect gear and equipment, with a realistic yet accessible fishing gameplay mechanic that attracts casual players and core gamers alike.

Big Game Fishing- catching big fish in the ocean - is the crown discipline among Fishermen, whose representation in gaming had, until now, remained very basic.  But unlike most  games, World of Fishing boasts gameplay depth, high quality 3D graphics, numerous locations ranging from North America (Vancouver, San Francisco, New York) to South Africa and Asia (Thailand, Korea, Japan), and over 360 different types of  fish, complete with sophisticated AI. Virtual fishermen chat with their peers, team up in clubs or compete in tournaments to show their success in rankings.

But World of Fishing is also a full MMO that allows thousands of players to fish together, chat or compete to catch the biggest fish! Each virtual fisherman has their own outfits and hooks, rods, baits and boats, and their equipment varies depending on regions. Like in an RPG, character development is central to the gameplay experience: while beginners use their rubber raft to look for mackerel, advanced players may even catch tuna and sharks from their yacht. And those who get lonely out in the ocean can join clubs to team up with others.
