Relax and Fish - Professional Fishing 2 Demo - Available now
A free demo of Professional Fishing 2, the upcoming sequel of the popular fishing series developed by Polish studio MasterCode, published by Ultimate Games S.A., is now available on Steam. This demo allows players to experience the core mechanics, multiplayer, and atmosphere of the game without any time restrictions.
The demo offers access to the picturesque Forest Lake region set in Central Europe (Poland). Players can enjoy realistic fishing experiences on an area of approximately 1000 m², featuring a main lake connected by a canal to a nearby river, surrounded by dense forests, rich wildlife, and multiple fishing spots equipped with various piers. Five boats are available for navigating the waters.
"In Professional Fishing 2, realism and immersion are key. We've put great effort into detailed environments, dynamic weather, and authentic sounds to truly capture the essence of fishing. Players can test various fishing techniques and equipment, compete in multiplayer challenges, and explore freely, all designed to provide a relaxing yet engaging experience," says Radoslaw Ciulak, Lead Programmer in MasterCode Studio.
The demo includes both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing players to set fishing records visible to others, interact via face-to-face chat, and participate in cooperative boat fishing.
Players can choose between two customizable characters and seamlessly switch between first-person and third-person perspectives. Various fishing methods-float fishing, spinning, and feeder fishing-are available alongside an assortment of equipment purchasable in the demo's limited shop.
Major Changes in Professional Fishing 2
Professional Fishing 2 introduces a host of upgrades and improvements over its predecessor. The game offers significantly enhanced visuals, NPCs, cooperative fishing from the boat, and more! The Forest Lake map has been completely redesigned to include a large central lake, two smaller nearby fishing spots, and a canal that flows into the main body of water. New playable characters include a male and a female angler, both with appearance and outfit customization options.
The in-game shop features a new interface and an expanded selection of fishing gear. NPCs now include a tackle shopkeeper, a fish market trader, and a wanderer offering fishing tasks. Camera control in third-person view has been improved, and first-person view now focuses more realistically on the fishing rod. Players can now choose between short/precise and long casting techniques. Other updates include the removal of stamina limits, improved fish bite rates, more realistic influence of bait depth and rod type on casting, and the introduction of feeder fishing. Further updates planned by the end of the year include baiting mechanics, fishing from boats, and expanded multiplayer interaction.
