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 port. The release 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 become a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job involves simple fishing and selling to locals. But soon, strange sea creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island threaten to unravel your sanity.
Sign up for the closed beta via this Google form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical praise Dredge has received suggest it's a game worth the wait, especially for those who haven't experienced it yet.
A Challenging Port
Having played the PC version, the delay isn't surprising. Adapting such a large and detailed world to mobile is a significant undertaking. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and ensuring a smoother mobile experience.
