In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us – young Lamb, the last of their kind – was selected to become a final, dark sacrifice. Their death would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods from our realm and usher in a new age ruled by the four eldritch Bishops of the Old Faith. So Lamb died… then forged a deal of their own.

At the crossroads of eternity, Lamb was met by the imprisoned deity known as The One Who Waits, who revealed the lies and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world above. And so, Lamb was bequeathed the power and responsibilities of the Red Crown and returned to the land of living with unholy powers to exact vengeance and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.

The Bishops of the Old Faith must fall … The disbelievers must be destroyed … And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over creation!

Presenting all four issues of Oni Press’ upcoming CULT OF THE LAMB comic book series in one deluxe, 112-page collection from heretic-smashing creators Alex Paknadel and Troy Little, the hit Devolver Digital / Massive Monster video game is reborn as an all-new graphic novel exploring and expanding the second life of the sacrifice turned spiritual warlord known simply as Lamb.

Gone Fishin’

Ready to start catching Floppers? Just follow these tips and you’ll be reel good in no time:

Craft a Fishing Rod

You gotta have the right gear to get started, so let’s start with a Fishing Rod! There are four rarities you can craft. You’re more likely to pull in your catch with a higher-rarity Fishing Rod, but the lower-rarity ones are easier to make. Here’s how to craft each rarity!

Common Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 1 Crafting Bench)

    Unlock the recipe for the Common Fishing Rod by adding a Cord to your inventory.

Uncommon Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 2 Crafting Bench)

    Unlock the recipe for the Uncommon Fishing Rod by adding a Knotroot Rod to your inventory.

Rare Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 3 Crafting Bench)

    Unlock the recipe for the Rare Fishing Rod by adding a Flexwood Rod to your inventory.

Epic Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 4 Crafting Bench)

    Unlock the recipe for the Epic Fishing Rod by adding a Frostpine Rod to your inventory.

Creatures to Catch

With your handy Fishing Rod, you can begin fishin’! Can you catch all of the fish introduced in v28.30?

Orange Flopper
Blue Flopper
Green Flopper
Vendetta Flopper
Black and Blue Shield Fish
Purple Thermal Fish
Raven Thermal Fish
Silver Thermal Fish
Blue Slurp Fish
Purple Slurp Fish
Yellow Slurp Fish
Blue Small Fry
Cuddle Jelly Fish
Slurp Jelly Fish
Molten Spicy Fish

Different fish can be found based on the biome and water you’re fishing in, and also the weather and time of day! Tackle the fishing pastime by catching the Legendary version of each fish.

Be sure to hold onto those Legendary fish! There will be a way to display them in a future update.

Make a Delicious Dish: Introducing the Food Processor!

Want some brick fish for breakfast? With the new Food Processor Station, you can turn the fish you catch into Fish Filets! (Unlock the Food Processor recipe by crafting or using a Lumber Mill.)

Fish Filets aren’t the only seafood you can eat. With a Grill, you can also make dishes like Smoked Fry Fish and Black and Blue Shieldfish Sushi!

Creating a Fishing Spot with a Bait Bucket

All you need to fish is a Fishing Rod and water. But fish are a slippery bunch, so don’t just cast your line and expect fish to flock. Throw bait into water to create a Fishing Spot!

Get bait from a Bait Bucket, which has four rarities you can craft. The rarer the bucket, the more likely you are to attract a fish:

Common Bait Bucket (craftable at a Food Processor)

    Unlock the recipe for the Common Bait Bucket by adding a Fish Filet to your inventory and having a Food Processor in the world.

Uncommon Bait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)

    Unlock the recipe for the Uncommon Bait Bucket by adding a Common Bait Bucket to your inventory and having a Juicer in the world.

Rare Bait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)

    Unlock the recipe for the Rare Bait Bucket by adding a Common Bait Bucket to your inventory and having a Juicer in the world.

Epic Bait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)

    Unlock the recipe for the Epic Bait Bucket by adding a Common Bait Bucket to your inventory and having a Juicer in the world.

Become as much of a fishing legend as the expert Turk! (This angler may appear as a potential Villager to join your adventure.)

More Updates!

Enter Sand and Glass

v28.30 adds two new resources to LEGO® Fortnite! With a Shovel, dig Sand out of the ground in sandy areas.

Some people don’t like Sand, because it of course gets everywhere. It’s even in glass… Craft Glass with Sand and a Crafting Bench!

Zoom In with the Spyglass

Make it easier to see what’s far away! The Spyglass is a telescopic tool that magnifies distant views. Unlock the recipe for a Spyglass by adding Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then, you guessed it, craft one at a Crafting Bench!

Let the Compass Guide You!

It’s easy to forget which way you’re going in unless you open your map. But if you craft a Compass, you won’t need your map for that! The Compass adds basic navigation to the HUD, telling you which direction you’re facing. Unlock the recipe for a Compass by adding Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then — you know where this is going — craft one at a Crafting Bench.

Want to add navigation AND map markers to your HUD? Then craft the Advanced Compass, whose recipe is unlocked the same way as the regular Compass.

New Villager Options

Turk isn’t the only one who can appear as a potential new Villager. Fellow fishers Outcast and Bob can too!

New Charms, How Charming!

There are new charms to discover and craft along your adventure!

The Reflection Charm deals some of the damage you take back at your attacker when you get hurt. While the Wavebreak Charm increases your swimming speed, making you faster the more Wavebreak Charms you have equipped. Different fish are required to craft both charms, so pick up that Fishing Rod and reel ‘em in!

please tell that to Nintendo, not me

AL: There haven’t been too many Shiren titles released in the West when it comes to Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. Was a Western release something you wanted from the beginning of development, and did that affect your approach to any gameplay mechanics?

Keisuke Sakurai: From the very beginning of development, we had the Western release in mind. For this reason, we eliminated confusing wordplay elements that had been common in previous titles, as we decided that they were not adaptable to other languages. Since awareness and popularity of the Shiren series are still growing in the West, we were conscious of keeping the game simple and easy to understand.

Latest update: Ver. 13.0.2 (Released February 14, 2024)

• Updates for compatibility with the Sora amiibo, which is scheduled to be released soon.
