Dredge's Mobile Port Release Delayed

Dredge's mobile release delayed until February 2025, but a new closed beta is now open!

Fans eagerly awaiting the mobile port of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will need to wait a bit longer. The launch has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt Games has opened sign-ups for a new closed beta test.

In Dredge, players become a fisherman in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the work is straightforward: catching and selling fish. But the idyllic setting hides a darker side. Strange creatures lurk in the ocean depths, mysterious beings emerge from the shadows, and the constant threat of madness hangs over the mysterious nearby island.

Interested in participating in the closed beta? Sign up via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has received suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't experienced this unique blend of horror and fishing.

A Challenging Port

Having played the PC version, the delay is understandable. Adapting such a vast and detailed world to mobile is a significant undertaking. However, the additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for more player feedback and ensuring a smoother mobile experience.
