Fishing is a persistent strategy game on MCC Island, which was introduced in Patch 0.22.0.
The game was first teased in the May 2024 MCC Island Dev Q&A, and it was originally due to be released in early Summer 2024.[1] However, its release was delayed because the scope of the game expanded.[2]
Official Description
Fishing is a persistent game mode you can play at any time - no waiting on other players!
The aim is simple: catch fish or other treasures of the sea, upgrade your rod to catch more fish, unlock the islands, and become the master angler of all MCC Islands!
Gameplay
Within Fishing, the player's goal is to upgrade their Fishing Level with 
Angler Trophies, allowing them to unlock new islands, upgrades, and better rewards. Angler Trophies also progress the player's Crown Level.
Fishing is a persistent game, meaning progression is saved between sessions, allowing players to stop playing and continue where they left off whenever they choose.
All fishing catches are worth Island XP, meaning Fishing progresses the player's Daily Meter, Battle Pass and Faction Level.
Fishing
Fishing Spots
Players can catch fish and items by casting their 
Fishing Rod at Fishing Spots on Fishing Islands. These spots are visible by the two fish swimming beneath them, causing animated water ripples, and are marked by a label with informative text.
Each Fishing Spot has a stock level that determines how many catches a player can make before it is depleted. The stock level ranges from Plentiful to Very High, High, Medium, Low, and finally Depleted. After each non-Junk catch, there is a 40% chance that the stock level will drop to the next tier (cancelled by 
Graceful Rod).
Each spot also has a chance of spawning with certain buffs that increase the effect of specific Fishing Perks. These buffs become visible once the player reaches Fishing Level 6.
All fishing spot locations and buffs on all islands are the same for every player, but a spot's stock is unique to each player. Additionally, the more remote or hidden a spot is, the higher the chance it will have better buffs, but also a lower stock level.
Spots have a minimum stock level of Medium and are guaranteed to have at least one buff.
Not every spot on an island is active at the same time. Every 60 minutes, the "currents change": all spots on all islands refresh with new stats, and some spots may become active or inactive.
Catching
After casting their rod at a Fishing Spot, a player must wait until water particles reach their bobber and for a huge exclamation mark to appear. Once this happens, the catch can be reeled in by right-clicking. More valuable catches will take longer to reel in, indicated by bars on screen and sound effects.
Once the player has a catch on their hook, they can reel it in at any time without it escaping, as long as the spot's still there.
Players with 
MCC+ have the Auto Rod perk, meaning they have the ability to automatically fish: once they have thrown their line at a fishing spot, their rod will automatically cast and catch without input until the spot depletes. Catching with Auto Rod is slower than manually doing so by 1.5 seconds.
Fishing Islands
The player can unlock nine different islands filled with Fishing Spots, each accessible via the Navigator. These islands are spread across three climates, with three islands per climate.

Climates and Grottos
- Main Article: Grottos
Each Climate has a hidden Grotto, a special area full of unique fish and better loot than regular islands. Each Grotto's location must be revealed by collecting 2,000 of that climate's 
Wayfinder Data: rewarded on every catch within that climate. Performing catches in a grotto will decrease the grotto's stability, depending on that Fishing Spot's stability cost. Once the grotto's stability reaches 0, the grotto will be again unreachable for the player until they rediscover its location.
| Grotto Name | Description | Climate |
|---|---|---|
|
A lush swamp that has sunken into the earth. |
Temperate |
|
A mesmerizing cavern of reflections and colors. |

A boiling underground hot springs deep beneath the Ashen Wastes. |

Catches
Fish
- Main Article: Fish
There are 216 unique fish to catch, each with one of 4 weights: Average, Large, Massive, and Gargantuan; and one of 6 rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic.
Rarity determines how difficult it is to find and catch a specific fish. Each weight above Average is exponentially harder to catch than the last. In order to gain the maximum amount of Angler Trophies for a particular fish, players must catch all 4 weights of that fish.
Trophy allocation for a fish is as follows, based on rarity and weight:
| Rarity | Trophies by Weight | Total Trophies |
|---|---|---|
 |
Average - 6 Large - 8 Massive - 10 Gargantuan - 12 |

Crab Pots
- Main Article: Crab Pots
Crab Pots are fishing tools unlocked at Fishing Level 15 that passively catch Crabs and other items for the player, even while they are offline.
Every 10 minutes, each of a player's crab pots will attempt to catch an item. If successful, the pot will lose 1 durability, and the caught item will be stored, ready for the player to claim. Once a crab pot's durability reaches 0, it will no longer attempt to catch items until the player repairs it back to its maximum durability at no cost.
Each crab pot must be has its own Catch Chance and Maximum Durability, which can be improved with Fishing Perks and Augments.
There are a total of 42 different types of crabs, each with one of three possible weights. Each climate has 14 different crabs available within them, meaning players must choose which climate to deploy their crab pots in.
