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 version. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, the delay comes with good news: 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 starts as simple fishing quickly turns unsettling as you encounter strange creatures, mysterious beings, and a creeping sense of dread on a nearby island. The game blends fishing mechanics with a Lovecraftian horror narrative.
You can register for the closed mobile beta via this Google form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical praise Dredge has received suggest it's a game worth the wait, especially for those who haven't yet experienced it.
A Mobile Port's Challenges
Porting a game like Dredge to mobile is a complex undertaking. The game's expansive world requires significant adaptation. The additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing Black Salt Games to gather valuable player feedback and ensure a smooth mobile experience.
