The Atlantic Goliath Grouper
We're putting the finishing touches on the highly anticipated update for Death in the Water 2, packed with new features, enhanced graphical options, and new creatures.
In the coming weeks, we'll unveil the full details of the update, However, we couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek at one of the most requested creature additions: the awe-inspiring Atlantic Goliath Grouper. This magnificent creature can reach lengths of over 8 feet and tip the scales at a staggering 800 pounds. Its presence in the eerie underwater horror landscape is truly a sight to behold.
