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 wait a bit longer. 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 unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job is straightforward – fishing and selling your catch. But soon, strange creatures from the ocean depths, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island will challenge your sanity.

The Challenges of Mobile Adaptation
Having played the PC version, the delay is understandable. Porting 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 and ensuring a polished mobile experience.
