MLF Pro Catch announced for Nintendo Switch 2

Today, Ultimate Games and Major League Fishing announced MLF Pro Catch for multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2. Launch timing for the system will be shared later.

MLF Pro Catch is a new competitive fishing simulator that’s “designed to bring the strategy, intensity and decision-making of tournament angling to players around the world.” The game features realistic fishing mechanics, over 40 fish species, licensed equipment, and various modes including online tournaments and recurring in-game challenges.

We have further details in the following overview:

MLF Pro Catch blends realistic fishing mechanics with detailed, lifelike environments inspired by real-world fisheries. Players will fish a variety of waters – from expansive freshwater lakes to coastal settings – where conditions shift, weather moves in and adaptability separates success from frustration.

Just like on the water, no two days are the same. Light levels change. Wind direction matters. Fish reposition. Players must adjust their presentation, manage their equipment and make smart decisions to stay ahead.

The game features more than 40 fish species, each designed with distinct behavior patterns that reflect how those species feed, move and fight. Whether targeting bass, trout or offshore gamefish, players will need to refine their approach based on conditions and species tendencies, creating a deeper and more skill-based experience. Each fish in MLF Pro Catch features realistic AI, ensuring no two battles are the same. Every catch is a test of patience, precision and skill.

MLF Pro Catch also incorporates licensed equipment from respected industry brands including Mossy Oak, YETI, Abu Garcia, Fenwick, Greys, Hardy, Pflueger, Zebco, Lowrance and Suzuki Marine. Players can customize rods, reels, tackle, electronics and boats as they progress through career-style modes and competitive events.

Visually, MLF Pro Catch delivers detailed graphics, responsive casting mechanics and a full day-night cycle designed to create immersion without sacrificing realism. Every bite must be earned. Every fish must be landed. Every decision carries weight.

In addition to solo play, the game includes online tournaments, global leaderboards and recurring in-game challenges that reward consistency and performance. Ongoing updates will introduce new locations and new species, allowing the competitive environment to continue evolving.
