Countdown to Fish It Kohana Volcano Update
You don’t really have much time left before this update drops. Here is the exact countdown for it:
What to Expect
The developers haven’t revealed much about this update yet. However, an NPC on Crater Island called Scientist Samantha hits that something big is coming to Kohana. She will reveal this after you finish her quest to measure and scan 15 different spots on Crater Island. In Kohana itself, we can already see the new laboratory area.
Now, based on the leaks on Discord, here are the things you can expect:
- Kohana Volcano Fishing Area: There may be new fishing spots that are hazardous due to their proximity to the volcano. Just be careful not to fall into the lava because you will die!
- Laboratory Area Expansion: You will finally be able to fish in the laboratory area, with new fish options to catch with your fishing rods .
- New NPCs: Since Samantha mentioned something major, you can expect more content and quests.
Since there isn’t much information from the developers yet, it’s best to keep an eye on the countdown so you’ll be ready when the update goes live. That way, you can jump into the new content on Kohana Island as soon as it arrives. If you need more information about this game and its features, you can also check our dedicated Fish It wiki !
