In the past decade or so, crab fishing has become popularized through several TV series on networks such as Discover, and Astragon Entertainment is taking on the King Crabs in the aptly named King Crab DLC for Fishing: Barents Sea, coming on November 7th.

Aspiring virtual fishers wouldn’t be able to take on King Crabs without the help of new ships. To that end, the King Crab DLC will introduce two new ships to the Fishing: Barents Sea fleet.

The Selfy which is based on the ship models of Norwegian ship manufacturer Selfa Arctic AS is the first of the two new ships from the King Crab DLC. The reliable vessel is a true all-rounder in providing a smooth transition from regular fishing to the slightly different mechanics of catching king crabs. She can be equipped either with line and nets or crab pots and a sorting table. Her storage provides more than enough capacities for cod, shellfish, pollack, and redfish. With over 500 hp and a maximum speed of 30 knots, fishing lovers can still catch the whole range of fish from the Barents Sea before they fully head to the catching of the majestic crustaceans with the next ship of the King Crab DLC.

With almost 55 meters, the Svalbard is five times longer than the Selfy, equipped with significantly larger crab pots and exclusively designed for king crab fishing. Appropriately, a large and powerful crane for throwing out and hauling in the heavy crab pots is located on the deck of the Svalbard. This beast with an 1125 horsepower engine is the perfect companion for making the dream of becoming a successful king crab fisher in Northern Norway come true.

The King Crab DLC for Fishing: Barents Sea will be available on Steam on November 7th for 9,99 Euro/11,99 USD/8,99 Euro GBP.
