GREE is known for its work in the mobile space and the many titles it has released on smart devices. But today, the company announced that it intends to release games on consoles. One such title is Fishing Star. It’s planned for release this year, and it sounds like it’ll be launching worldwide.
GREE came out with Fishing Star VR not too long ago, which we assume the Switch version is based on. Described as a casual fishing game, it allows players to visit a few different areas and compete with others through online play. It comes with a variety of fishing rods and bait, as well as over 100 kinds of fish.
