that’s going out today if you’re one of them.

Aquarius is packed with new features, all centered on fishing. You can either fish on your own or fish with friends if that would make it easier to wait for a *****. While you can sit, cast your line and wait for a catch on the shore, you can also set up automated traps. It’s also possible to fish in deep water from an “Exo-Skiff” platform, which can be personalized with colors and comes with an inventory for storing your catches. Ocassionally, you’ll pull up non-aquatic items like messages in bottles and technology upgrades. The Aquarius update also arrives with a new expedition, Expedition 15. Completing the various quests over the six weeks the expedition runs will unlock customization options like a deep-sea diving suit, a special fishing rod and a nautical-themed Aquarius jetpack.

The developer says it’s releasing a huge array of fish in the game, “from common minnows to wild alien catches,” and some can only be caught using fishing pots that can bait and trap rare catches. And while you can fish to relax, you can also challenge yourself by completing the fishing logs and taking part in expedition quests to find the biggest catch of the day.

Finally, you can cook whatever you catch using new recipes that you can discover around the No Man’s Sky universe. It sounds like Hello Games intends to expand the game’s fishing mechanic, though, so we may get more equipment, competitions and species to catch in the future. For now, if you enjoy fishing mini-games like I do, you may want to grab some snacks and prepare for hours of virtual angling.

Update, September 4, 5:50PM: This story was updated after publishing with more details on the Aquarius update and the expedition unlocks.
