Bassmaster Fishing 2022, the official BASS video game, will be released on October 28 and will be available on the first day with Xbox Game Pass.

And we are also happy to announce that today you can also see the latest action game trailer for Bassmaster Fishing 2022.

The game includes a full complement of exciting new features, game modes, and mechanics. Great multiplayer lobbies, crossover play, Bassmaster Royale, a fully licensed career mode, and much more, is ready for you to board (and get those tackle boxes out) starting October 28.

Become the professional

When you first enter the game, you will be able to play as, or compete against, 10 Elite Series anglers, such as two-time Bassmaster Classic champion Hank Cherry, the 2021 St. Lawrence River Elite. The winner of the event, Takumi Ito, or our effervescent cover star Scott Martin.

You can build your career like the pros, starting in the College Series and fighting your way to Bassmaster immortality, while using amazing brand-name gear like Scott Martin’s Skeeter boat with a powerful 250HP Yamaha outboard.

You will participate in multiple tournaments when you start your career. Expect professional challenges, Grand Slam events, and traditional tournaments (where your goal is to fill the well of life with your 5 biggest basses) are just a few of the events you’ll need to conquer to get to the Bassmaster Classic.

Your path to Bassmaster Champion starts at the bottom: The College Series. This is where you will start your career in getting acquainted with bass fishing in amateur tournaments. Your opponents will learn to drive, so expect heated competition from all kinds of aspiring anglers.

Once you defeat the College Series, it’s time to bring the big guns: The Opens. The goal of the Open is to get enough qualifying points to go to the Elite Series. If you can make it to the Elite Series level, you’ll need to use everything you’ve learned to finally get that coveted invitation to the Bassmaster Classic – the highlight on any bass fishing fan’s calendar.

The Bassmaster Classic is where all your knowledge and experience come into play. You will have to risk everything to overcome all other competitors and become the Bassmaster Classic champion.

Rule the waters

You will be fishing in 8 real world locations when you first go out on your boat. The points of interest, the depths of the water, the surrounding vegetation and the weight of the fish species are just a few of the things you will need to consider when fishing in these iconic locations.

You’ll be fishing through dense swamps on the Sabine River, open water on Ray Roberts Lake, or just taking in the views of the Memorial Bridge on the St. Johns River. With the new underwater camera, you can find points of interest around the places where you can catch some really big bass.

The hitch is something you need to be careful about when fishing as depending on the environment you are fishing in and the equipment you are using, you run the risk of your lure snagging on all kinds of underwater hazards – weeds, wood, rocks and more.

Our dynamic time of day feature means you’ll need to fish all day to really master where the hotspots are and where you are most successful in the water for different species and locations.

The AI ​​of the fish in the game moves around the water depending on the temperature, the time of day, if there are underwater structures or not; all of these things (and more!) are what you will need to master and track if you want to be successful. in the game.

The competition has just begun

Bassmaster Royale is an all-new, cross-play, adrenaline-pumping game mode that hits the angling genre where you’ll go head-to-head with other players to be the last player standing. To stay in the game, you will have to keep the total weight of the fish above other players, or you risk being eliminated!

We can’t wait for you to jump in and start building your Bassmaster Fishing 2022 race this October 28. With so much to do in the game, you won’t be able to choose where to start!

And don’t forget that after the release on October 28, we’ll have tons of updates and additional content for single and multiplayer, so it’s time to practice! Good luck and narrow lines!
