Imaginer and developer Toybox are bringing a fishing action RPG to both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 this fall. Boku to Fishing Diary launches on October 8, 2026, with physical pre-orders opening today, July 2. The game is set in Japanese-style freshwater environments-rivers, lakes, and ponds-where players fish to lift a curse that has drained color from the world. Cute ayakashi companions assist the adventure across eight fishing spots.
Rather than spotting fish shadows, players consult a guidebook to predict fish habitats and choose the right rod and lure. Over 100 fish species are present, mixing real fish like ayu and oikawa with curse-altered monster fish. The game is priced at 6,578 yen including tax.
