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 for the mobile version. The release 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.
For the uninitiated, Dredge casts you as 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 beings, and the unsettling threat of madness. A nearby island holds even more disturbing secrets...
You can register for the closed beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical praise Dredge has received confirm it's a title worth anticipating.
A Challenging Port
Having experienced the PC version, the delay isn't surprising. 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 smoother launch.
