Holy mackerel! Everyone's favorite summer obsessions are colliding. (No, not Mamma Mia! Here We Go Againand Hereditary. But, I'm here for that too.)

The update offers three oceanic costumes and a harvesting tool. Available through the in-game store, the outfits include "Chomp Sr." and "Shark Fin" for 2,000 V-Bucks each, as well as "Snorkel Ops" priced at 1,200 V-Bucks. The "Chomp Jr." harvesting tool is available for 1,500 V-Bucks.
Sadly, as per usual, the new skin options do not come with any explicit game advantages.
The new emote is super goofy (and looks a lot like my dad at weddings), but may be a pretty cute addition to your avatar's personality. "On the Hook" is available for 500 V-Bucks.

Discovery's Shark Weekruns July 22 to July 30 and features plenty of special guests this time around—including professional badass Ronda Rousey and the (totally on-brand) cast of ABC's Shark Tank.
So get ready to flop on your couch with your iPhone or Nintendo Switch in hand. Cause this week is going to be jaw-some.
