Dredge's mobile release delayed until February 2025, but a new closed beta is now open for registration!
Fans eagerly awaiting the mobile port of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will need to adjust their calendars. 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 a fisherman in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the task is simple: catch and sell fish. But the ocean holds more than just ordinary catches. Strange creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events threaten both the player's sanity and the peace of a nearby island.
Interested in participating in the closed beta? Register via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has received suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't experienced the game yet.
The Challenges of Mobile Adaptation
Having played the PC version, the delay is understandable. Porting such a vast and detailed world to mobile is a significant undertaking. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for valuable player feedback and ensuring a smoother mobile experience.
