For all you fishing aficionados just dying to experience the sanity-shredding isolation of the deep sea, the wait is finally over. The hotly-anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is set to make its mobile debut on February 27th, following several shifts in its release schedule.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the mysterious waters around a desolate island chain. Your primary task might seem simple—catch fish to feed the island's inhabitants—but the game's depth extends far beyond that. You'll need to manage your sanity as you explore the archipelago, upgrade your boat, and unravel the eerie mysteries lurking in the fog at night.
As I previously reported, Dredge's mobile port faced delays, initially pushing its release to February 2025. However, that date is now nearly upon us, and the iOS App Store listing has been updated accordingly, though the Android Google Play listing remains pending.
Oh I do love to be beside the seasideBeyond the casual joy of fishing, Dredge offers an engaging upgrade system and a rich tapestry of Lovecraftian horror. While details on potential DLC remain under wraps, the mainline game's existing expansions promise to expand the archipelago's mystique even further.
With its unique low-poly aesthetic and compelling visual style, Dredge is poised to become a favorite among mobile gamers. The final release date of February 27th is sure to excite many who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
