Rumors are swirling that Jandel, a legend among Roblox developers, is working on a brand-new Roblox game. Word is that this new project is inspired by two currently mega-popular Roblox titles and will supposedly feature a monetization system that isn’t pay-to-win. Is there any truth to these rumors? Here’s what we know so far.
Jandel’s New Horror Fishing Game: Rumor or Reality?
In recent days, the Roblox community has been buzzing like crazy about Jandel’s new project. Apparently, the famous Roblox developer is working on a brand-new game, and fans couldn’t be more excited. What began as a simple rumor quickly escalated when Jandel himself posted a TikTok video confirming that a new game is indeed in the works.
“Look at this, I’m cooking,” Jandel says in the TikTok video while showing a meal he’s preparing. He then adds, “But I’m not just cooking food - I’m cooking a new game. I’m gonna drop that. I’m not gonna tell people what it is. You’re just gonna find it. You’re just gonna see it. So yeah… watch out.”
Naturally, the community immediately started scrambling for clues about his new project, and it didn’t take long before they uncovered what he’s cooking. Let’s just say that this time, fish is on the menu. And not the friendly kind, but the terrifying deep-ocean kind.
Fish It Meets 99 Nights in the Forest?
So, what is Jandel’s new horror game actually about? And how do we even know it’s a horror fishing game if Jandel never specified it? Well, thanks to some hard-working dataminers, of course! The Twitter (or X, if you prefer) account BIG GAMES Pets Leaks managed to uncover several links to developer builds of Jandel’s new Roblox projects. Builds that aren’t publicly accessible under normal circumstances.
One of those builds has a pretty telling working title: Horror Fishing Game. To a lot of fans and big names in the Roblox community, it’s already obvious what’s going on. Jandel seems to be pulling inspiration from two of the year’s biggest Roblox hits: 99 Nights in the Forest and Fish It. Both games have been pulling absolutely insane numbers in 2025, and their success has sparked a wave of copycats (with… let’s say… mixed results).
Apparently (and take this with a massive grain of salt, because this is all just rumor and speculation right now), the game is supposed to mix survival-horror mechanics with fishing gameplay. What does that even mean? Are we going deep-ocean fishing with monsters hiding in the dark below? Maybe fishing during storms, with mythical krakens and other legendary creatures trying to drag us under? What are your thoughts on it?
Jandel’s Upcoming Game: Release Date Predictions
So, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably already dying to try this game and wondering when it’s coming out. Well, sorry to crush the hype, but the game hasn’t even been officially announced yet (aside from that casually dropped TikTok video we mentioned). So yeah, don’t expect to get your hands on it anytime soon.
However, in the video, Jandel kinda hinted that he might just shadow-drop the game with zero official announcements. And if that’s the plan, we could actually see it earlier than expected, maybe even an Alpha or Beta build before the end of the year. Again, keep in mind that this is all just our own speculation, nothing official. As soon as we get confirmed info, we’ll make sure to share it with you.
For now, that’s everything we know about this highly anticipated game. But don’t worry, if you’re hungry for more details, something is bound to swim up to the surface soon. A game like this attracts the best dataminers in the community, and you can bet they’ll leak more info sooner rather than later. Speaking of Jandel’s projects, did you know there’s actually a Grow a Garden movie adaptation in the works?
