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 eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job is simple: catch and sell fish. But the ocean holds more than just typical catches; strange creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events threaten both your sanity and the tranquility of a nearby island.
Sign up for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical praise Dredge has received 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 world to mobile is a significant undertaking. However, the additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback before the official launch. This ensures a polished and enjoyable experience for mobile players.
