Ice Lakes Anniversary Update
Tropical Freeze is the first new map. In this map players are thrown into sunny paradise islands where, because of drastic climate change phenomenon, a sudden cold atmosphere has frozen all waters. The fishermen around the world are gathering to experience ice fishing in the tropical paradise. This might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to go ice fishing in the middle of calmly waving palm trees. Polar Storm, on the other hand, is from the other end of the spectrum. This map is located to polar region, where the bravest fishermen are exercising their passion on small ice rafts. There might be occasional nuclear submarine you might encounter as well.
Barracuda is the new beast that can be caught in the waters of Ice Lakes. More precisely this is a special species that can be only found in the waters of the two new maps. Barracudas are fierce predators and they can be found almost from all depths. This will also take the position of the biggest fish that can be caught in the game.
Welcome to the dark side! Night has come to Ice Lakes. This is a completely new mode you can select from the map selection menu. Night mode is a "hard" difficulty setting. This means that in general it is harder to catch fish at nighttime. However, some species are more active during night, like burbot for example.
In addition to new content there are also a ton of improvements to the base game. We added the ability to toggle the fishing rod by pressing 'g' key on your keyboard. This way it is no more necessary to hold the mouse button pressed when moving the rod. Couple of bugs we received feedback are also fixed. The possibility to sell your fish in endless loop in multiplayer is now fixed, as well as the bug when detecting Rift system while starting the VR version on Oculus. Thanks to the power of our community, we also added Korean to localized languages. Finally we have started updating all of the sound effects in the game. The first new sounds are already in this update and more will follow in the upcoming updates.

The Anniversary Update is finally out! This time we wanted to do something crazy. It is a birthday update after all ;)
Let's check out what the latest update has to offer.
Two New Maps
Tropical Freeze is the first new map. In this map players are thrown into sunny paradise islands where, because of drastic climate change phenomenon, a sudden cold atmosphere has frozen all waters. The fishermen around the world are gathering to experience ice fishing in the tropical paradise. This might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to go ice fishing in the middle of calmly waving palm trees. Polar Storm, on the other hand, is from the other end of the spectrum. This map is located to polar region, where the bravest fishermen are exercising their passion on small ice rafts. There might be occasional nuclear submarine you might encounter as well.
New Fish
Barracuda is the new beast that can be caught in the waters of Ice Lakes. More precisely this is a special species that can be only found in the waters of the two new maps. Barracudas are fierce predators and they can be found almost from all depths. This will also take the position of the biggest fish that can be caught in the game.
Night-Time Fishing
Welcome to the dark side! Night has come to Ice Lakes. This is a completely new mode you can select from the map selection menu. Night mode is a "hard" difficulty setting. This means that in general it is harder to catch fish at nighttime. However, some species are more active during night, like burbot for example.

Ice Lakes is an ultimate ice fishing game with a sandbox approach to wintertime fishing. Rare subject, stunning graphics, realistic physics, fish behavior system, wide selection of fishing gear, single and multiplayer with different game modes in the various locations around the world, changing season, day time and weather conditions that also affect fish behavior makes Ice Lakes the ultimate ice fishing simulator.
In this game players can roam freely in the beautiful open world maps and explore river, pond and lake locations in diverse environments. Dare to go deeper into the wild where no fisherman has gone before and find the biggest catches. All maps are playable both in single player and multiplayer modes.
Finding the best fishing spots by learning the depth maps and bottom topology of each location is fun, but requires patience and dedication. Nothing wins the expectation of finding the best location or catching the biggest fish from each lake.
The real excitement starts when it is time to throw fishing lines into the water and start fishing! The right equipment for right conditions are as essential as is mastering the location. The realistic fish behavior system, fish AI and fish swarms for over 20 fish species makes this game a lifelike fishing experience. Fishing gear can be chosen from a wide selection of different jigs, rods, augers and baits. A perfect combination of equipment for different species depends on the season, but especially weather and daytime conditions. Controlling a rod and a jig in the water in a right way and at the right depth in Ice Lakes is a skill of its own. Rod and jig physics guarantees that fish react authentically to player's actions.
Fishing independently without time limits or competitors makes Ice Lakes a relaxing game to play and tune your fishing skills in the comfort of your home. On the other hand, lengthy tournaments and very customizable single competitions will test the player's skills and knowledge, but will reward them with new equipment and limitless fame.
