The Fisherman: Fishing Planet is a highly realistic online first-person multiplayer fishing simulator developed for anglers to bring you the full thrill of actual fishing!

Choose your lures, make your trophy catches, discover new possibilities and sharpen your real angling skills anywhere, anytime with your friends!

Aside from a rare few, there were no decent fishing games created over the whole 30-year history of game development. And not a single one in recent years! Don’t we anglers deserve better than that? Fishing Planet decided to set this historic injustice right and finally make a game that fishing enthusiasts were waiting for all these years! And according to our Beta Testers, we hit the mark!

Fishing Planet isn’t just another game about fishing. Stunning eye-candy graphics, superb hydro and aerodynamics, realistic tackle behavior and damage based on actual simulation physics and, most importantly, fish with artificial intelligence for completely lifelike behavior make this a true-to-life fishing simulator that can help you improve your actual angling skills!

The combination of unique graphics, realistic game physics and sophisticated AI will bring the realistic world of fishing directly to your computer screen!

Players can also participate in fishing tournaments and competitions, playing with their friends and family or competing with other anglers from all around the world - thus enjoying the immeasurable drive and challenges of competitive fishing. It’s a thrilling way to see just how good your skills really are and if you can out-fish the best of anglers.

Originally released on PC in 2015 and for PS4 in 2017, the premium version of Fishing Planet, which sets the standard for fishing simulators and already boasts 5 million players, combines all the content released to date in one package: the equivalent of more than 30 DLCs as well as features exclusive to this premium version of the game. By moving from a free-to-play model with paid content to a premium model, it guarantees players will be able to enjoy a complete and immersive experience.

The Fisherman – Fishing Planet faithfully adapts all the fine details of the art of fishing to gaming screens. Players can try out several types of fishing and attempt to catch over 100 species of fish, whose artificial intelligence is based on the real behavior of each species. There are also 18 different fishing areas in the premium version, featuring lake and river environments with varied terrain and vegetation. As for equipment, the game allows for thousands of tackle combinations. Each element includes its own physics and unique hydrodynamic properties.

The game also provides complete immersion through the attention to detail given to environmental elements, such as the geographic zone, climatic conditions, time of day, and flora and fauna. Everything has been included to recreate and influence the realism and unpredictability of sport fishing. And with high-quality audio producing the relaxing sounds of water and the hum of insects, players need only close their eyes to experience an authentic fishing sensation, while keeping their feet dry in front of their console!
