For all you fishing aficionados eagerly awaiting a deep dive into sanity-shredding isolation, the wait is finally over. The much-anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is set to cast its line on mobile devices on February 27th, following a series of release date shifts.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the mysterious waters surrounding a desolate archipelago. Your primary task is straightforward: catch fish and sell them to the island's inhabitants. However, the game quickly evolves beyond simple fishing as you manage your boat's upgrades, explore the eerie archipelago, and confront the unsettling phenomena lurking in the fog at night.
As previously reported, Dredge faced delays, with its mobile release initially slated for February 2025. Now, with the latest update to the iOS App Store listing confirming the new release date, anticipation is building. Although the Android Google Play listing is not yet live, the excitement among fans is palpable.
Oh I do love to be beside the seasideBeyond the casual allure of fishing, Dredge offers a surprisingly in-depth upgrade system and a rich tapestry of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile-specific DLC remain under wraps, the mainline game has already expanded its universe through various expansions.
With its unique low-poly yet engaging visual style, Dredge is poised to become a favorite among mobile gamers. The final release date marks a significant moment for fans who have been patiently awaiting its arrival.
