Dredge\'s mobile port delayed until next year but a closed beta test is planned for December

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 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 job is straightforward – catching and selling fish. But the waters soon reveal far stranger creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island, all threatening to unravel your sanity.

Sign up for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, Dredge's numerous awards and critical acclaim suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't experienced the game yet.

The Challenges of Mobile Porting

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 final release. This ensures a polished and enjoyable mobile experience.
