Fisch Ancient Isles Trailer Breakdown
This guide breaks down the little and large aspects of the latest trailer!
What We Can Decipher From the Trailer
Here I summarise the Ancient Isles trailer, as well as what we can take from it, and what remains a mystery.
First Cutscene
The first cutscene showcases an avatar standing on a boat whilst using one of the new fishing rods, adorned with a purple glow. Following on from this, the Megalodon makes its first appearance, leaping out of the water.
It’s absolutely massive, and from this short snippet, we can see that it has glowing eyes and teeth, with red fins and detailing. Interestingly, we know that there are multiple variants of the Megalodon, which has been confirmed by a developer.
New Island
As we all know, the new island is Ancient Isles. From the trailer, we can see that to traverse around the location, you can use the ziplines! There’s an NPC on the left side that looks like a Shipwright, and there’s a stall on the right side which indicates that a Merchant NPC may stand there.
New Totems
In the trailer, after the short showcase of Ancient Isles, the avatar then holds up a totem. This totem is brand-new and upon use, the sky turns dark and an eclipse begins. Because of this, the new totem is being referred to as the Eclipse Totem, though the name may differ upon release.
The second new totem summons a meteor that falls from the sky, landing in a random location on the island. While we don’t know what effects the Eclipse Totem or Meteor Totem provides just yet, they’re most likely going increase a Mutation chance or offer some sort of buff to players.
New NPCs
A new NPC stands by a stall, with a dialogue option that asks them to chip amber off of a fish for 75 coins. It’s not clear as to what this does, though I predict that you cannot sell a fish that is covered in amber, or the amber itself can be used for something else.
Crafting
Yes, crafting is coming to Fisch! To unlock it though, you need to enter the Ancient Archives. There looks to be some sort of puzzle with a locked circular door and glowing podiums.
Other than that, all we can see is an anvil in the secret room, which is where we presumably create new fishing rods. There isn’t any further information regarding this topic at the moment, so it’s still quite a mystery!
