Citizens are frightened by the idea of going fishing and we will have to help the country rise from its ashes. The game takes inspiration from Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King and aims to "capture the magic of fishing".
Moonglow Bay: an example of fish that can be caught Moonglow Bay will be playable solo or in co-op with a friend. The game loop consists of going fishing, catching a fish, cooking it and selling it when created to upgrade your gear and fishing boat, so you can travel even further and find new fish. We will be able to use fishing nets, place traps, fish in the ice or move among the geysers. There will be over 100 types of aquatic species.
Moonglow Bay will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for PC and Xbox. As mentioned, it will be available starting October 7, 2021. You can see the gameplay trailer from the Wholesome Direct of E3 2021.

Moonglow Bay will (catch and) release its chill voxel fish on October 7th
I recently learned about goblincore, a cottagecore-adjacent aesthetic that's a little more rooted in fantasy and dirt than its pastoral cousin.
Since we're defining niches, you can't convince me to not call Moonglow Bay fishcore. It's got the little seaside house, the pet, the Instagram-ready book-and-an-armchair scenes, but it's also about sailing out on your little tug to catch different kinds of fish. And you can't convince me that boat doesn't smell of fish guts.
There's a new trailer below, which brings the news that we can all imagine those fish guts come October 7th.
Moonglow Bay is described by its developers as a 'slice-of-life fishing RPG.' It takes place in the titular Moonglow Bay, a small, once-bustling town that's fallen on hard times since its inhabitants have become afraid to fish. You're aiming to revive the town to 'fulfil your partner's final wish', by starting a business, making friends with the locals, and encountering a lot of weird fish - and possibly sea monsters.
The game was originally announced back in March, but the release date announcement trailer also brings a first look at the game's glacier biome, one of several locations you can visit. I love its voxel art style, both for the blocky landscapes and for those lovely chonky seals.
You'll be able to play Moonglow Bay either singleplayer or with local co-op, just as soon as it launches on October 7th. It'll be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store for £20/€25/$25, and on day one via Xbox Game Pass.
