Dredge\'s mobile port delayed until next year but a closed beta test is planned for December

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

Fans eagerly awaiting the mobile port of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will need to wait a bit longer. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt Games has announced a new closed beta with open sign-ups.

In Dredge, players become a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the job involves simple fishing and selling to locals. But soon, strange creatures from the ocean depths, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island will challenge your sanity.

Interested in participating in the closed beta? Sign up via this Google form. The numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has received suggest the wait will be worthwhile.

A Mobile Port's Challenges

Having experienced the PC version, the delay is understandable. Porting such a vast 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 the mobile experience lives up to the high standards set by the original.
