Hey Anglers,

Welcome to **Skårland Fjord, Norway** – a new waterway where anglers can focus on extreme fishing and brutal fights with bottom-dwelling predators!

To welcome the launch together with our amazing community, we’ve prepared a **free Shark Cap** and **5 Repair Kits** just for you. All players, regardless of level, can head to the Personal Offers tab and claim these fin-tastic presents, but only for a limited time, so don’t miss out!

Now, let's discover what’s new in this update!

##### **Skårland Fjord, Norway**

Set out for a brand-new destination — Skårland Fjord, Norway, 10x10 km which makes it 100 square kilometers (almost 25,000 acres) of icy Norwegian Sea. These waters are home to 25 cold-water fish species, all of them completely new to Fishing Planet, including regional icons like Norwegian Atlantic Salmon, Herring, several Cod species, as well as predators such as the European Angler. You’ll also encounter true giants such as Atlantic Halibut, Porbeagle Shark, European Sea Sturgeon, and the long-living Greenland Shark. With every form and variation, Skårland Fjord offers 79 fish to discover, making it one of the most diverse and content-rich waterways in the game!

Players can unlock this location at level 105, or dive right into the fishing saga with one of the DLC packs, each including 30- or 60-day access, plus an Advanced License and Premium account for the same time period. The maximum level cap in the game has been increased from 100 to 110.

Watch the video on YouTube and write a comment under it to get a chance to win Valkyrie Saga Pack with the brand new boat and 60 days of access to Skårland Fjord, Norway!

##### **Long awaited crane for huge fish available now!**

Introducing a brand-new Valkyrie fishing boat that stays stable in rough waters keeping its speed, cuts through high waves, and even breaks ice! It’s all about getting more out of every trip at sea. With 3 rod holders per angler, all four players on board can fish multiple rods at once — meaning more bites and way more fish in the same amount of time. The rod holders are fully adjustable, so you can set everything up exactly the way you like. While this boat is focused mostly on bottom fishing, you can still take it across all saltwater locations in the game and use it for trolling as well.

For truly massive catches, the Valkyrie features a **heavy-fish crane**. Once your catch hits a certain weight, the crane lifts it aboard and lets you snap stunning shots of your haul. And the best part is that you don't have to own the boat, since all guests in Fishing Together sessions can share the crane for their giant fish as well.

The Valkyrie comes equipped with an extra-large **3,500 kg** fish storage with max fish capacity of **720 kg**. For the first time in the game, an ocean boat features **refrigerated, fish-friendly storage**, keeping your catch in top condition and rewarding you with a generous **+20% Credits** and **+20% XP bonus** for every fish. Add the ability to fish with four rods at once, and you’ll quickly notice how much faster you can level up.

Dive into a new chain of **Adventure Missions** and help out the local residents along the way. **All players will unlock useful Tablet firmware upgrades** and earn unique rewards. And for those who own the Valkyrie and are ready to take on truly massive catches, there's a chance to face one of the biggest monsters on The Planet.

The Valkyrie Fishing Boat, 3 next-generation AquaVolt™ electric bottom setups, a full arsenal of terminal tackle, and 50 Repair Kits can be obtained with the [**Valkyrie Saga Pack**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4218170/Fishing_Planet_Valkyrie_Saga_Pack/). With 60 days of access, Advanced License, Premium account, and extra Marker and Navigation Buoys, you’re fully equipped to jump straight into big game fishing and start building your heroic epos on the open water.
