29th May 2025 – FusionPlay and Team17 Digital bring Viva La Dirt League’ quirky world of Azerim to PC and consoles today, with Baelin’s hilarious tale of unlikely heroism available now on PC, Nintendo Switch™, and PlayStation® 5. Explore the town of Honeywood, and what lies far beneath its lakes and oceans! Defeat bosses, muggers, and an absolute carp-load of fish!
Set in a universe that fans of Viva La Dirt League will instantly recognise, Nice Day for Fishing captures the charm and humour of the Epic NPC Man series, complete with familiar faces, classic tropes, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling.
Dive beneath the surface of lakes, oceans and an eerie underwater cave to battle aquatic creatures, level up, and gear up for even greater challenges. Your fishing rod is your weapon, your hat is your armor, and your jewellery gives you the extra boost you need to survive the depths. Unlock and upgrade powerful magic spells to turn the tide in epic boss fights—and when things get rough, a well-timed potion might just save your skin.
Your journey centers around Honeywood, a charming NPC village with plenty of personality. Help its quirky residents, take on quests, and upgrade your equipment or shops with the help of local tradesfolk. Whether you're buying a new fishing rod, selling your catch, or chatting with familiar faces, Honeywood is your adventurer’s haven.
The adventure spans the surface and the shadowy world below. As you acquire better gear, you’ll unlock access to deeper regions, navigating pitch-black caverns, a boiling underwater volcano, a shimmering crystal cave, and the vast expanse of the open ocean. What looks like a simple lake at first reveals more depth as you improve your equipment, including the ability to freely navigate underwater, giving you full control of your hook to explore every corner and uncover hidden secrets.
It's a Nice Day for Fishing, ain't it?
When Azerim needs a hero, but all it has is a fishing NPC.
· Explore the enchanting lands of Azerim – Journey from Honeywood Forest to the Azerim coast, where you'll be tasked with quests fit for an Adventurer, meet characters straight from the Epic NPC Man series, and find new fish to catch.
