The developers have officially rolled out Blox Fruits Submerged Expansion Update, better known as the Submerged Expansion, and it’s packed with new systems, activities, and long-requested changes. From the long-awaited Bomb Fruit overhaul to brand-new fishing tournaments and even collectible Bomb Skins, this week’s patch delivers a mix of style, utility, and progression. Let’s take a closer look.
Submerged Expansion
The centerpiece of Week 5 is the Submerged Island update. Players can now dive into newly unlocked zones while pushing their limits with a higher level cap. On top of that, the seas have gained a new interactive feature:
- Golden whirlpools spawn at random, giving players a short window to collect Summer Tokens.
- These tokens act as a special event currency, tradeable for exclusive skins and rewards.
Between the new island and whirlpool system, the game world feels more dynamic than ever.
Bomb Fruit Finally Gets a Rework
One of the most exciting adjustments in this update is the revamp of Bomb Fruit. For years, Bomb has been considered an underwhelming fruit, but the rework changes that.
- The moves have been redesigned with improved visuals and smoother animations.
- The skillset has been balanced to make Bomb more viable in PvE farming and PvP battles.
It’s not just about power either — now players can style their explosions with skins.
Unlocking Bomb Skins
Update 29 introduces Bomb Skins, a cosmetic system that lets you customize how your explosions look.
- Skins are unlocked with Summer Tokens, earned from golden whirlpools and event activities.
- Each skin changes the visuals of your attacks without affecting mechanics.
It’s purely cosmetic, but it gives collectors something new to chase while showing off individuality.
Fishing Tournaments Arrive
Another big addition is the launch of fishing tournaments, a feature designed to break up the usual grind with a competitive side activity.
- Catch rare and valuable fish to climb the leaderboard.
- Earn prizes for top placements.
- Tournaments tie directly into the Submerged Expansion’s theme of exploring the depths.
This is a fresh direction for the game, offering downtime gameplay that still feels rewarding.
Player Profile Viewer
Also included in this update is the Profile Viewer, a system that makes progression more social.
- Check other players’ stats, builds, and achievements.
- Compare progress with friends or rivals.
- Adds another layer of competitiveness to the community.
Update 29 hits a nice balance between core gameplay improvements and fun extras. The Bomb Fruit rework makes an old fruit relevant again, skins add customization, and the Submerged Island plus fishing tournaments expand the game world with more variety.
For grinders, the higher level cap and golden whirlpools will be the main attraction. For social and casual players, the Profile Viewer and fishing events open up new reasons to stay engaged.
