Dredge's Mobile-First Port Delayed to 2023, Closed Beta in December

Dredge's mobile release delayed until February 2025, but a new closed beta is now open!

Fans of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will have to wait a little longer for the mobile port. 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 take on the role of a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. What begins as simple fishing quickly descends into a chilling adventure involving strange sea creatures, mysterious beings, and the unsettling threat of madness. The game's unsettling atmosphere and mysterious island add to the suspense.

You can register for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, Dredge's numerous awards and critical acclaim make it a title well worth the wait for those who haven't experienced it yet.

A Challenging Port

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 official launch. This ensures a polished and enjoyable mobile experience.
