We’ve been following the release of Nice Day for Fishing, and now Team17 Digital and FusionPlay have today released the second free update. In addition to fast travel portals, which arrived in the game’s first update earlier in the year, Nice Day for Fishing’s second update adds Elite enemies, which offer even the master angler a worthy challenge.

Bigger and meaner, the Elite enemies present new difficulties but drop special scales that the new merchant will trade for. Freda has set up shop in the town of Honeywood, offering special sails in exchange for Elite fish scales, which give the boat different attributes. Sails will have base and sprint speed, deceleration, and stopping power stats, which can lead to some interesting sailing combinations. 

Customisation has unlocked even more options where items can now be used as skins, without sacrificing any stats, and the game now features Seasonal Events that run between 2-4 weeks, with Halloween kicking off today. For a limited time, a Goblin has set up shop in Honeywood, where seasonal currency can be exchanged for special themed items or costumes. Finally, a secret boss, which is the most powerful player will have ever encountered, has been added to the game.
