These waters are home to 25 cold-water fish species, all of them completely new to Fishing Planet, including regional icons like Norwegian Atlantic Salmon, Herring, several Cod species, as well as predators such as the European Angler. Youll also encounter true giants such as Atlantic Halibut, Porbeagle Shark, European Sea Sturgeon, and the long-living Greenland Shark. With every form and variation, Skrland Fjord offers 79 fish to discover, making it one of the most diverse and content-rich waterways in the game!

Players can unlock this location at level 105, or dive right into the fishing saga with one of the DLC packs, each including 30- or 60-day access, plus an Advanced License and Premium account for the same time period. The maximum level cap in the game has been increased from 100 to 110.

Long awaited crane for huge fish available now!

Introducing a brand-new Valkyrie fishing boat that stays stable in rough waters keeping its speed, cuts through high waves, and even breaks ice! Its all about getting more out of every trip at sea. With 3 rod holders per angler, all four players on board can fish multiple rods at once meaning more bites and way more fish in the same amount of time. The rod holders are fully adjustable, so you can set everything up exactly the way you like. While this boat is focused mostly on bottom fishing, you can still take it across all saltwater locations in the game and use it for trolling as well.

\nFor truly massive catches, the Valkyrie features a heavy-fish crane. Once your catch hits a certain weight, the crane lifts it aboard and lets you snap stunning shots of your haul. And the best part is that you don\'t have to own the boat, since all guests in Fishing Together sessions can share the crane for their giant fish as well.

Add the ability to fish with four rods at once, and youll quickly notice how much faster you can level up.

Dive into a new chain of Adventure Missions and help out the local residents along the way. All players will unlock useful Tablet firmware upgrades and earn unique rewards. And for those who own the Valkyrie and are ready to take on truly massive catches, there\'s a chance to face one of the biggest monsters on The Planet.

Electric reels also come with different reeling speeds, so feel free to experiment and find the best match for each type of fish.

\nA Living Ecosystem and Immersion

The weather adds to the atmosphere, bringing long daylight hours, bright white nights, and a sky thats constantly changing. Calm, cloudy days can quickly shift into powerful storms with rough seas, lightning and thunder, and snowfall. And when conditions are just right, the northern lights may appear, turning an ordinary fishing trip into something truly memorable.
