The unsettling fishing simulator Dredge sets sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date shifts, fishing enthusiasts can finally experience the sanity-bending isolation of the deep sea.
Initially slated for a February 2025 mobile launch, Dredge now has a confirmed February 27th release date on iOS. The Android Google Play listing isn't yet updated, but the wait is almost over.
In Dredge, players assume the role of an unnamed fisherman navigating a desolate archipelago. The core gameplay revolves around fishing and selling your catch to the islanders. However, maintaining and upgrading your vessel, exploring the mysterious archipelago, and uncovering its secrets add layers of complexity and suspense. What lurks in the nighttime fog?
Beyond the core fishing mechanics, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile DLC remain unannounced, the main game already features expansions that broaden the archipelago's scope.
Given its charming low-poly art style and engaging gameplay, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite. For more gaming news and discussions, listen to the latest Pocket Gamer Podcast featuring Will Quick and Catherine Dellosa.
