Farming Simulator 25 Adds Fishing – A Long-Awaited Feature
▼ Summary
– Farming Simulator 25 is introducing a fishing expansion called Highlands Fishing, allowing players to grow and catch fish.
– The expansion features aquaculture, where players raise fish in tanks on their farm before releasing them into the ocean.
– Players can catch fish either commercially by boat or recreationally with a rod and reel, set against a Scottish-inspired map.
– The expansion also includes highland cattle and onions, though fish are the main focus (except for Lauren Morton, who dislikes fishing).
– Highlands Fishing launches in November for $30 ($25 with preorder), but gameplay footage of actual fishing is notably absent.
The latest installment in the popular Farming Simulator series is making waves with an exciting new addition that fans have been requesting for years. Farming Simulator 25 will introduce fishing as a core gameplay mechanic through its Highlands Fishing expansion, blending traditional farming with aquatic agriculture.
For years, players have enjoyed planting crops and raising livestock, but the ability to cast a line and reel in fish has been noticeably absent, until now. The expansion takes inspiration from Scotland’s rugged landscapes, offering a fresh map where players can dive into aquaculture, raising fish from hatchlings to full-grown catches. Whether managing large-scale commercial operations or simply enjoying a quiet day by the water, the update caters to both productivity and relaxation.
The expansion isn’t just about fish, though. Highland cattle and onions also make an appearance, adding variety to the farming experience. But let’s be honest, most players are here for the fishing. The mechanics allow for two distinct approaches: industrial fishing via boats or the classic rod-and-reel method for those who prefer a slower pace.
Oddly enough, despite being a fishing-focused update, neither the promotional video nor the Steam page showcases actual fishing gameplay. A single piece of artwork hints at the feature, leaving players curious about how it will function in practice.
Highlands Fishing launches in November, priced at $30 (or $25 for preorders). Whether you’re a seasoned virtual farmer or a newcomer, this expansion promises to bring a fresh layer of depth to the already immersive world of Farming Simulator 25.
