Patch 2.0 Highlights

Fish Variations
This feature came in the previous patch, however this got extended to the new Japan reserve! Every single catch you get on Golden Ridge Reserve or Kamuibetsu National Park will be completely unique. It’s actually unlikely for you to find any two fish that look the same. There are a few fish that have this feature on other reserves, but you’ll definitely see them if you catch a Golden Ridge or Japanese fish.

When playing on the PC, you can now press SPACE or ENTER to release a fish on the catch screen.
