TODAY, September 29, 2026, Real VR Fishing UNLOCKS Week 3 of its 7th-anniversary Prehistoric Sharks EVENT: the CENOZOIC era. Developer Devs United Games staged the celebration as a three-week fossil hunt across Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic maps on Meta Quest and PC VR / Steam, following the September 15 kickoff reported by UploadVR.
Week 3 CENOZOIC Unlocks TODAY
The schedule has been clear since the September 11 announce. Week 1 opened the Paleozoic on September 15. Week 2 brought the Mesozoic on September 22. Week 3 — CENOZOIC — goes LIVE today. That timed UNLOCK is the news angle here: the final era of the anniversary event is now AVAILABLE to research, not another preview of the September 15 start.
How the Fossil Hunt WORKS
Players RESEARCH prehistoric sea predators by fishing FOSSILS at real-world locations tied to each era. Hints on the event MAP screen point to those spots. Catch the required fossils to unlock that week’s EVENT map. Once unlocked, maps stay open until the event ends in early OCTOBER. Participants earn an event-only fishing rod, hat, boat, and TITLE.
Angler’s Logbook and New SPECIES
Alongside the shark hunt, Devs United Games shipped a personalized Angler’s LOGBOOK for all players. It chronicles milestones, fish caught, and locations visited into a SHAREABLE record. The event also adds SEVEN new prehistoric shark species, plus THREE new non-shark fish species.
Price and PLATFORMS
Real VR Fishing has sold over 1 MILLION copies. It remains available on Quest and Steam for $19.99. Platform pages: Meta Quest store and Steam.
