REEL-Y BIG NEWS: Bait! Celebrates 10 Years With New Gear and Mixed Reality Mode on the Line

Break out the tackle box — Bait!, the original VR fishing adventure, just turned 10 years old! To celebrate a full decade of fishing adventures, tall tales, and unforgettable catches, Resolution Games, the studio behind Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, Retrocade, and many other chart-topping experiences, has released a special Anniversary Update on the Meta Horizon Store packed with free gear, stylish new items, and a sneak peek at what’s next for the game.

“Bait! was one of our very first titles here at Resolution Games, and it’s wild to look back at what we built in those early days of VR and see how far both the game and the technology have come,” said Gustav Stenmark, game director at Resolution Games and the original producer for Bait!. “The fact that players are still casting their lines in Bait! ten years later is really a testament to the staying power of VR. And we’re not done yet! Later this year, we’re taking VR elements to the ‘reel’ world with Bait! in mixed reality.”

Celebrating a Decade with Free Anniversary Gear
Every good fishing trip deserves great gear, and to thank the amazing Bait! community for ten incredible years, players can claim a “10 Year Anniversary” fishing set featuring a special rod, reel, and bobber designed just for the occasion. Best of all, it’s completely free. When you launch the game, keep an eye out for a notification that will point you toward Penguin Point. From there, head over to the “Vend-o-Matic”, grab your anniversary gear, and show off your decade-worthy style on the water. Because if you’re going to celebrate ten years of fishing, you might as well do it with some shiny new tackle.

Bringing Some Neon to the Lake
But that’s not all! If you’re looking to make an even bigger splash, Jim Bob’s Shop is now stocking a flashy new ‘Synthwave’ fishing set, available as an in-app purchase. Add some extra flair to your fishing setup with the vibrant retro colors and neon glow of the Synthwave rod, reel, and bobber. Perfect for anglers who want their gear to look as legendary as their catches.

Casting Toward the Future
Whether you’ve been with us since the very beginning or just discovered the joy of virtual angling, the next chapter for Bait! is already on the hook. Later this year, Resolution Games will introduce an all-new Mixed Reality mode, bringing fishing into your real-world space with hand tracking and passthrough. The team is currently putting the finishing touches on the feature, so stay tuned for more details as the launch approaches.
