Evaluation

GONE Fishing is still in Early Access as of October 5, 2026, with version 1.0 imminent. The developer confirmed on September 18, 2026 that 1.0 would go live around October 19–20, 2026, and explicitly stated they have been holding back new content to make the 1.0 release "extra juicy." The October 3, 2026 announcement post updated the release date to October 20th and described "new fire content" being cooked up for 1.0. The same-day post on October 5, 2026 confirmed the 1.0 update is "95% complete and just in need of further testing." Content confirmed for 1.0 includes: the final endgame level and boss battle (first tested in open sessions around September 13, 2026), full implementation of the Musket weapon (currently available only as a rare Easter egg), and additional unspecified new content the developer has been holding back. The developer has maintained an extremely active update cadence throughout Early Access — 49 posts since June 2025, including 14 feature patches, with meaningful additions shipping almost weekly in the lead-up to 1.0. The 1.0 launch is approximately 15 days away from today's date, and all indicators point to the developer being on track to deliver it on schedule.

Evidence

About this game

Cast your line to feed an ancient eldritch beast. Bring friends or go solo. It doesn’t care who is feeding it, only that it is fed. With over 100 different species of creatures to catch and dozens of live animals to use as bait.

Grill it, smoke it, turn it into a pearl, or bet it all in the gambling pit. Sell the extra fish you catch and spend the profits on upgrades, better gear, and items from the traders found around the map.

You must sacrifice a certain amount of fish to the beast every day if you want to survive, but the beast is not the only thing out there. Be wary of territorial beasts, stalking nightmares, and ambushing predators. Learn the creatures of the land to avoid being killed, you can't feed the hungering abomination if you are dead...

Drink beer, explore multiple maps, customize your characters, play instruments, catch fish and legendary creatures like the Lochness monster, explode monsters (and people), AND GAMBLE.
