For all you fishing aficionados eager to dive into 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, after enduring multiple delays.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the mysterious waters around a desolate archipelago. Your primary task seems straightforward: catch fish and sell them to the islanders. However, the game quickly delves into deeper waters, challenging you to manage and upgrade your boat, explore the archipelago, and unravel its eerie secrets. But beware, as the fog at night may reveal more than you bargained for.
As reported last year, the mobile version of Dredge faced a delay, pushing its release to February 2025. Thankfully, that date is now just around the corner. The iOS App Store listing has been updated with the new release date, though the Android Google Play listing is yet to go live.
Oh, I do love to be beside the seaside! Beyond the casual joy of fishing, Dredge offers a surprisingly in-depth upgrade system alongside a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror to keep you on the edge of your seat. While there's no word yet on what DLC will be available, the mainline game already boasts several expansions that expand the archipelago's mysteries.
With its low-poly yet engaging visual style, Dredge is poised to become a firm favorite among mobile gamers. The final release date is set, and excitement is building.
