The highly anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is finally setting sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date shifts, the wait is almost over for those eager to experience the sanity-bending isolation of deep-sea fishing.
In Dredge, you'll take on the role of a nameless fisherman navigating the treacherous waters around a desolate archipelago. Your initial task seems simple: catch fish and sell them to the islanders. However, maintaining and upgrading your boat, exploring the archipelago's mysteries, and confronting the unsettling events that unfold at night add layers of complexity and suspense. What lurks in the fog?
As previously reported, Dredge's mobile port faced delays, originally slated for February 2025. Now, with the updated February 27th release date reflected on the iOS App Store, the anticipation is palpable. The Android Google Play listing is yet to be updated.
Beyond the casual fishing fun, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile DLC remain unannounced, the main game boasts several expansions that significantly expand the archipelago's scope.
With its charming low-poly aesthetic and engaging visuals, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite. For those eager to learn more about upcoming releases and the wider gaming world, check out the latest Pocket Gamer Podcast featuring myself, Will Quick, and Catherine Dellosa.
