Dredge's mobile release delayed until February 2025, but a new closed beta is now open!
Fans eagerly awaiting Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, on mobile devices will need to wait a bit longer. 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.
In Dredge, players become fishermen in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. What begins as simple fishing quickly unravels into a terrifying journey filled with bizarre sea creatures, mysterious entities, and the creeping threat of madness on a nearby, enigmatic island.
Interested in participating in the closed beta? Sign up via this Google form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has already received suggest it's a game well worth the wait for those who haven't experienced it yet.
A Challenging Port
Having played the PC version, the delay is understandable. Adapting such a large and detailed world to mobile is a significant undertaking. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback before the official launch. This should ensure a polished and enjoyable mobile experience.
