As we get closer to this year’s E3, new game announcements and leaks are starting to become more and more frequent. It was only yesterday Fortnite for the Switch appeared on the Korean Ratings Board after a rumoured leak in the form of an E3 document and now it seems like one of Ubisoft’s upcoming releases for the Switch has been outed.

What is it, you ask? It’s Legendary Fishing (Legendary Fishing King) and it's being published by Ubisoft. At this point in time there are no other details about the title. So, if past fishing game experiences are anything to go, this should be ‘reel’ fun. It might not be Assassin’s Creed or some other big Ubisoft release, but it’s at least something. Let us know down below if you’ll take the bait.

Could be fun with motion controls.
if you really translate the korean it says 'legend of the fishing king'
@JayJ Totally agree! If Ubisoft could also find a way to really take advantage of the HD rumble as well than they could make one of the more immersive and realistic fishing games that we have seen in some time.
I might get it if it's labo compatible
Yeaaaaaahhh!! A true triple A title!
I'm waiting for a good fishing game, surprise me Ubisoft!
I’d actually love a great fishing game. I always really liked to catch fish in the Animal Crossing games.
Still can't beat sega sea bass on dreamcast with the official rod
I'll stick to seamen on Dreamcast...
Oh my cod!
Looks like they're hoping to reel in some cash with this one.
@Yasume That's all I do in AC. Livin' the fish life.
Ubisoft is supporting Nintendo by putting Mario in their new AssAss Creed Odyssey.
@Captain_Gonru
They ported it to the Wii iirc. Don't think it worked all that well though.
@Lord My mate had that, there was something therapeutic about using that fishing rod controller.
I knew there was something fishy going on with Steep being cancelled lol.
@GrailUK : It's been removed for pre-order, so I think it's safe to assume that it has been cancelled. EB Australia still has Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 available for pre-order, though there has been no word whatsoever of a Western release (and judging by the fact that it requires a 32GB cartridge, and is the only retail game to be shipped on such a cartridge, I very much doubt that it will see the light of day here, at least not any time soon).
Steep is also dirt cheap at the moment, with even the expanded Winter Games edition selling for less than AU$30. Selling a vanilla edition on Switch without the expansion content for AU$90ish is not an appealing value proposition.
I'm reelly excited about this. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hope it comes bundled with the Cheep Cheep and Hyrule Bass dlc.
@Silly_G Steep just showed up on another batch of E3 stickers! (Maybe someone jumping on the bandwagon perhaps.)
Oh... a fishing game. They still make those? I guess the subset of grandpas playing video games might be small, but a consistent demographic to sell to.
I love fishing games. Good news for me.
@Lord I have that rod but always thought Sega Marine Fishing was the best fishing game ever. Catching barracuda and sharks while giant whales swam in the background was so cool. Probably not the most realistic fishing game, but sharks, whales and barracuda can't be topped. 😊
Saw the pic, thought it was Seaman - I want to build a Labo aquarium - disappointment ensued.
I love fishing in videogames. The biggest disappointment about BOTW was that there was no rod so that we could fish anywhere! Jumping in and spamming 'A' to grab fish just isn't the same.
Hope this does not end up like the Wii. Where it sold 100M but ended up only getting Just Dance and other random stuff from Ubisoft.
Only game I fish is in Black Desert Online. And it is just AFK over night.
It's all over now. Nintendo won the console wars. This game will sell 1 billion copies. Thanks Ubisoft for taking the switch seriously. Whoo!!!!! Fishing!!!!!
Legend of the fisher king hmmm? Was Fisher King not an unlockable trophy in Rayman???
Would love a good fishing game
Lol
Would love to have Sega bass fishing on switch tho
No thanks, would rather do some reel fishing outside. Never got the appeal of fishing, chess, poker, monopoly, when you can do those things in reality.
Would love to see a Switch version of the Wii title "Fishing Resort". Sadly, it was never released in Europe.
lol here's some shovelware to honor our agreement, Nintendo
Beyond Good and Evil 2 should be better.
fishing:/
come on guys, you can't be happy with that. i offered my ps4 and xbox one for this console.
we demand a+ titles.
I really love fishing games, so this is an insta-buy for me!
@Findonovan95 There's a time and plaice for puns man
Will it top Sega Marine Fishing?
Isn't that the name of a fishing rpg that game out for the gba?
Get those Labo fishing rods ready!
Sonic Adventure fishing flashbacks
Ubisoft must be trolling.
Oh Ubisoft...
It could be worse. It could be Assassin's Creed: Unity.
