This is the first major content update for the game since its 1.0 launch. The update will be available today on Steam, and will arrive on Nintendo Switch at launch on October 26th, 2023.

Nintendo Switch pre-orders are available on the eShop, alongside a free demo for players who want to test the waters now; pre-orders come with an exclusive 8-bit themed skin for Dave’s boat, plus a Dave-shaped lamp decoration for the sushi restaurant.

Players who download today’s update can follow novel missions in the Blue Hole’s Glacial Area, discover additional nighttime fish species, catch crustaceans with new crab and lobster traps (and enjoy a Lobster Party event), unlock a powerful new event boss after collecting all Marinca, and meet a novel VIP customer: The Wandering Merchant, who provides new secret recipes and crops. Speaking of crops, the update adds some farming automations and tools: players can now ask Sammy to help with tasks on the farm; they can set up a chicken feed dispenser and can use a new egg storage box to keep eggs from spoiling. The update also includes improvements to game load times and performance, as well as quality of life additions.
