The tide is turning in the Shadow Sea! We are thrilled to announce the official release of Update 1.1: The Gone Fishing Chronicles for Oceanhorn 3. This major content drop is our way of saying thank you for the incredible support since launch. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or just beginning your journey, this update adds layers of depth (literally!) to your maritime adventures.

Reeling in the Big One: New Fishing Mechanics

It’s time to take a break from the frantic combat and enjoy the serenity of the shoreline. The highly anticipated Fishing Minigame now unlocks automatically for every player.

  • Become a Master Angler: Visit the nearest beach, grab your brand-new rod, and embark on a legendary new questline. Do you have the patience and skill to land the rarest catch in history, the elusive Golden Sol Fish?
  • Dominate the Leaderboards: Fishing isn't just a hobby; it’s a competition. Compete against the community for the "Biggest Catch" and prove your skills across the Shadow Sea.

New Horizons: Tiber’s Rest

Explorers, set your sails for a brand-new destination. Tiber’s Rest, a mysterious and uncharted island, has appeared on your maps. This land is packed with fresh adventures, and the game now features New Collectibles, and a suite of New Achievements for the completionists among you.

While you’re out there, keep an eye out for mechanical wonders. Three new Machine Parts are now scattered throughout the world, essential for those looking to complete the construction of the Mysterious Machine.

Quality of Life & Refinements

We’ve been listening closely to your feedback to ensure Oceanhorn 3 offers the smoothest experience possible. This update includes several key balance changes and technical fixes:

  • Uriel's Mausoleum Tuning: Based on player reports, we’ve reworked the Mausoleum and reduced the number of laser traps to better balance the challenge.
  • Puzzle Clarity: The Combination Lock in Perilous Peak now features the first symbol fixed on-screen to assist with navigation.
  • Boss Fixes: A critical bug preventing players from engaging in the fight against Uriel has been resolved.
  • Mobile Optimization: We’ve overhauled the water rendering on mobile devices, providing a more immersive and visually stunning aquatic environment.
  • Stability: Multiple "stuck points" have been addressed, and we have successfully restored progress for players who were missing critical quest items.
