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 to cast their lines on mobile. The mobile port has been pushed back to February 2025. However, the delay is accompanied by good news: 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 turns unsettling, with strange creatures, mysterious beings, and the creeping threat of madness adding to the already tense atmosphere of a nearby, mysterious island.

The Challenges of Mobile Adaptation

Having played the PC version, the delay is understandable. Porting such a large and detailed game to mobile is a significant undertaking. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and ensuring a smoother launch.
