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 exercise a bit more patience. 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 take on the role of a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. What begins as simple fishing quickly descends into a chilling journey filled with strange sea creatures, mysterious entities, and unsettling events on a nearby island, threatening the player's sanity.

A challenging port
The delay is understandable, given the game's expansive world and the complexities of adapting it for mobile devices. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and ensuring a polished mobile experience.
