Patch 2.1.0 is here and offers some highly requested new features and quality of life improvements.
Rod Holders are now available for all players. You will be able to use two rods in holders in addition to the rod in your hands.
We’re thrilled to see all the different variations of fish you’ve been catching since the last update! The fish variation feature was fully added to Japan and Golden Ridge Reserve to start, but in this patch, you’ll see more variants in Norway, Spain, and South Africa. It’s not all fish, but more!
If you own Japan, you’ll see a new legendary fish each week from now on, with 3 different possibilities! Any guesses? Japan enjoyers can also check out the souvenir shop that has opened with a variety of new cosmetics. Go check it out and say hi to mascot Kumao-kun while you’re at it!
Full Screen Resolution Settings are now more customizable. You can change the resolution in fullscreen mode independent of the monitor resolution. This can help with decreasing memory usage and increasing performance when playing on high resolution monitors.
The days of being bald under all of our hats has come to an end. You will now be able to have hair under your hats!
You can also feel the grass beneath your feet if you so choose. There is a barefoot option in the player customization options.
