Dredge's Mobile Port Launch Postponed, Beta Test in December

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

Fans eagerly awaiting Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, on mobile will need to exercise patience. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt has opened sign-ups for a new closed beta test.

In Dredge, players become a fisherman in Greater Marrow, initially selling their catch to the townsfolk. But the idyllic setting quickly unravels as strange creatures, mysterious beings, and unsettling events unfold, culminating in a terrifying threat to the player's sanity and the mysteries of a nearby island.

Sign up for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. The numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has already received suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't experienced the game yet.

More than just fishing

The delay is understandable, given the complexities of porting such a large and detailed game to mobile. 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.
