Dredge\'s mobile port delayed until next year but a closed beta test is planned for December

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

Fans of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will need to wait a bit longer for the mobile version. The release 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 eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job is simple: catch and sell fish. But soon, strange creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island will challenge your sanity and test your fishing skills.

Sign up for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, Dredge's numerous awards and critical acclaim 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. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback before the official launch. This ensures a polished and enjoyable mobile experience.
