Eldritch Fishing Sim 'Dredge' Sets Sail for Mobile

The unsettling fishing simulator Dredge is finally setting sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date shifts, fishing enthusiasts can prepare to experience the sanity-bending isolation of the deep sea.

Initially slated for a February 2025 mobile launch, Dredge's iOS App Store listing now confirms the February 27th arrival. The Android Google Play listing is yet to be updated.

More Than Just Fishing

Dredge offers more than just casual fishing fun. Players take on the role of an unnamed fisherman navigating a desolate archipelago, selling their catch to the islanders. The gameplay deepens with boat maintenance and upgrades, exploration of the archipelago's mysteries, and unexpected nocturnal encounters shrouded in fog. The game features a surprisingly detailed upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. No information is currently available regarding potential DLC for the mobile version, though the original game boasts several expansions.

Dredge's low-poly art style delivers an engaging visual experience, promising a comfortable fit within the mobile gaming landscape. Many players are eagerly awaiting this release.
