Reel Fishing: Days of Summer is angling for a Winter release down under

Natsume have announced that the Reel Fishing series is casting back out another line this Winter, when Reel Fishing Days of Summer hits all platforms.

Sadly as with most Natsume reveals, they have not actually provided any screens or footage of the game, but we do have an official description.

Join three good friends as they spend the last days of summer together with one last memorable fishing trip! But who is the mysterious young boy they keep running into? Are there more to these fishing spots they're visiting than meets the eye? Find out in Reel Fishing: Days of Summer! Catch over 40 species of fish from 14 different fishing locations and craft over 70 different kinds of tackle to lure the rarest of fish! Players can keep fish in a beautiful aquarium while levelling up and gaining new and exciting skills!

We also have the below statement for the CEO of Natsume about the game.

Reel Fishing was released in North America in 1997 and was the first fishing game to offer a photorealistic fishing experience with a strong focus on nature. Players loved this new style so much that Reel Fishing was one of the first fishing games to sell over one million units on PlayStation! We are excited to continue the legacy of this great series with Reel Fishing: Days of Summer.
— Hiro Maekawa, President & CEO of Natsume

The last game to release in the series was back in 2019 when Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure released, which sadly didn’t really do much, as we explain in our review. Given that they have taken time to make a new one, hopefully they can address a lot of the feedback that players will have provided.

Whenever the game is released, it will hit Switch, PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
