Dredge: Eldritch Fishing Sim Prepares for Mobile Launch

The unsettling fishing simulator Dredge is finally setting sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date shifts, fishing enthusiasts can prepare to experience the sanity-bending isolation of the deep sea.

Initially slated for a February 2025 mobile release, Dredge has been updated on the iOS App Store with its new launch date. The Android Google Play listing isn't yet live, but the wait is almost over.

In Dredge, players take on the role of an unnamed fisherman navigating a desolate archipelago. The core gameplay involves fishing, selling your catch to the islanders, and upgrading your boat. However, the serene fishing experience is interwoven with Lovecraftian horror and mysterious occurrences. The game features a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a captivating low-poly visual style.

While details on potential DLC remain unannounced, the base game already includes expansions that significantly expand the archipelago's exploration. Given the game's engaging gameplay and unique aesthetic, it's poised to become a mobile gaming favorite.
