Announced earlier this year, Dovetail Games’ fishing simulator has just received a release date. Bassmaster Fishing 2022 is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam) on October 28. More importantly, the ultimate fishing simulator will be available with Xbox Game Pass at launch.

Along with information about the game’s release date, Dovetail Games shared more details about its new gameplay modes and features coming to the sports fishing simulator when it releases.

First off, players can choose to engage in the fully licensed Career Mode where they’ll have to fish their way to the top as they compete in College Series, Opens, and the Elite Series to earn an invite to the ultimate bass anglers challenge, the Bassmaster Classic.

Additionally, players can take this journey on with one of the 10 Elite Series anglers or create their own custom character, complete with their choice of sponsors to support them. As players compete, they’ll experience eight diverse real-world venues hand crafted to accurately recreate the depths, fish species, native vegetation, and local points of interest, earning in-game Bass Bucks to unlock different types of lures, tackle, rods, and more so they can bring the right equipment for each unique venue.

Another important addition to Bassmaster Fishing 2022 is a new twist to multiplayer, as the game will pit players against each other in the ‘Bassmaster Royale’ multiplayer mode. This all-new game mode challenges anglers to be the last player fishing, competing together against the clock and challenging anglers to keep the weight of their catches above other competitors.

As the title says, multiplayer features cross-play between all platforms, allowing anglers to play with friends no matter which platform they have.

Last but not least, Freedom Fishing is another multiplayer mode that players can enjoy solo or with friends. In this mode, players can explore the waters at ease and practice so they will be ready when it comes to tournament fishing.
