The relaxing Ultimate Fishing Simulator will no longer be exclusive to the PC, receiving consoles releases as early as Q1 2019.
After launching into early access and final release on the PC, Ultimate Fishing Simulator will be coming to consoles starting in the first quarter of 2019. Initially, a Nintendo Switch release will occur in Q1 2019, followed by a Q4 release for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
“The PC version of the game has been very well received – after leaving Early Access almost 90 percent of reviews published on the Steam platform were positive and in total, i.e. also counting reviews given during Early Access, the percentage of positive reviews now reaches 81%. Equally positive were reviews in which the point ratings are typically within the 8/10 range and even higher. It can be concluded that Ultimate Fishing Simulator is best-rated fishing game in recent years” says the CEO Ultimate Games S.A., Mateusz Zawadzki.
Two teams are working on the console releases; Bit Golem and Ultimate Games S.A., which is also the title’s publisher.
“In the next coming months, we will focus on converting Ultimate Fishing Simulator for consoles, obviously taking into account the specifcity of individual platforms, to offer console players the highest possible quality. At the same time, we are working on paid add-ons that will also be available on consoles. The first of these is an add-on introducing a whole new fishery and additional species of fish – we are planning the premiere of this DLC on the Steam platform to end 2018. In total, there will be fve different add-ons that will be released every quarter” explains the project manager at Ultimate Games S.A., Rafal Jelonek.
