Roll a Fisherman Update 2: What’s New & Next Update Countdown
Roll a Fisherman takes Roblox’s roll-for-rarity craze down to the fishing dock: you roll for fishermen, hunt progressively rarer crew, and stack them up to reel in bigger catches. It has grown into one of the platform’s steady performers, with about 14,000,000 lifetime visits, about 420,000 favorites, and about 3,600 players casting lines at any given moment.
Content here arrives in numbered drops, and the current one is Update 2. These updates don’t appear at random — a new one lands roughly every ~9 days, so there’s nearly always a fresh batch of fishermen and features about a week away. The next drop, and the usual times it goes live, are on the card below.

How often updates land
A new update lands about every ~9 days, and each one goes live inside a set of fixed time-of-day windows rather than at a single moment. In US Eastern time, the two recurring windows are Thursdays at 2:00 PM and Saturdays at 4:00 PM.
Because the developer hasn’t posted the next update’s exact time yet, the date on the card is our best estimate from this rhythm; we confirm it once the schedule is set.
What’s new in Update 2
Update 2 is the version live in Roll a Fisherman right now, and it’s the headline reason to jump back in. In keeping with the game’s core loop, each drop of this kind widens what’s on offer at the dock — more fishermen to roll for, new catches to chase, and the tuning and fixes that keep a fast-growing roll game running smoothly. If you’ve been away since the previous build, this is the content you’ll land in the moment you load the game.
Tips for catching an update
- Pick the window that suits you. The Saturday afternoon slot (4:00 PM ET) is the easiest catch across the Americas and Europe; the Thursday slot works better for early risers in Asia and Australia.
- Set a reminder for the window you want. Launches draw a crowd, and rolling early is the best time to chase anything newly added.
- Miss it? The content stays in the game, and the next update comes back around on roughly the same rhythm, so there’s always another one on the way.
How updates fit the game’s rhythm
Updates are the spine of Roll a Fisherman’s calendar — the steady update rhythm shown on the card above is what keeps the roster and the dock changing. The developer has also folded events into the mix before, running a combined Update + Event drop that bundled fresh content with a limited-time activity. Whether the next drop is a plain update or another update-and-event pairing, it slots into the same dependable rhythm.
