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

Fans of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will have to wait a bit longer for the mobile port. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, to soften the blow, Black Salt has opened sign-ups for a new closed beta test.

In Dredge, players become a fisherman in the unsettling town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the work is straightforward—fishing and selling to locals. But soon, strange creatures from the ocean depths, mysterious entities, and unsettling events on a nearby island threaten to unravel your sanity.

Sign up for the closed mobile beta via this Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has received suggest it's a game well worth the wait, especially for those who haven't experienced it yet.

A challenging port

The delay is understandable. Porting such a large and detailed game to mobile is a significant undertaking. However, the additional closed beta is a smart move, allowing for more player feedback and ensuring a smoother mobile experience.
