Dovetail Games announced today that Dovetail Games Euro Fishing is releasing on April 11 for PlayStation 4, priced at $18.99 USD/£14.99. By pre-ordering the game in Europe, PlayStation Plus members can save 20% off the regular price. In North America, it will be 20% off at launch.
Already available on PC and Xbox One, Euro Fishing “authentically and accurately replicates the feeling of real fishing from the comfort of your sofa.” Game modes include Freedom Fishing, where you can practice on any of the five venues and try to catch a boss fish, and Tournament Fishing mode, where you compete against others by trying to top the leaderboard in time-limited matches.
The description adds:
Dovetail Games Euro Fishing immerses you deep into the adrenaline-packed action, fun and beauty of Europe’s most famous lakes. Master your rod, line and tactics, and refine your technique to become a top angler. This is the closest you can get to real fishing from the comfort of your own couch. Welcome to the Great Indoors!
Start by learning the basics of casting with in-game tutorials, or dive straight into one of the five unique European locations included, such as the famous St John’s Lake at Linear Fisheries and Digger Lakes, each posing their own unique challenge to land the big catch.
Using advanced AI and customizable environment effects, fish respond to water temperature, time of day, weather conditions and baits as they do in real life. Spot fish ‘shows’ before casting into the right area from a pre-set peg or the lake bank, and customize your angling equipment for the best chance of landing a catch.
Dovetail says they’ll continue to add new and exciting content to Euro Fishing, while also developing “additional fishing experiences.”
