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 have to wait a little longer for the mobile port. The launch has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt has opened sign-ups for a new closed beta test.

In Dredge, players take on the role of a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. What begins as simple fishing quickly turns unsettling, with strange creatures, mysterious beings, and the ever-present threat of madness looming. The game features a captivating blend of horror and fishing gameplay, set against the backdrop of a mysterious island.

A worthwhile wait

Given the game's scope and the complexities of porting to mobile, the delay is understandable. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback before the full release. The numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has already received suggest the wait will be well worth it for those who haven't experienced the game yet.
