Dredge's mobile release delayed until February 2025, but a new closed beta is now open for sign-ups!
Fans eagerly awaiting the mobile port of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will have to wait a bit longer. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt Games has announced a new closed beta test, with open registration.
For the uninitiated, Dredge casts players as a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job involves the simple task of catching and selling fish. But the tranquil fishing quickly descends into a terrifying journey filled with bizarre deep-sea creatures, mysterious entities, and unsettling occurrences on a nearby island. The constant threat of madness adds another layer of chilling suspense.
Interested in participating in the closed mobile beta? Sign up via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has garnered suggest it's a game well worth the wait, especially for those who haven't experienced it yet.
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 valuable player feedback and ensuring a polished mobile experience. This excellent blend of horror and fishing deserves a smooth transition.
