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 of Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror, Dredge, will need to wait a little longer for the mobile port. The release has been pushed back to February 2025. However, the delay is accompanied by good news: sign-ups are now open for a new closed beta test.

In Dredge, players take on the role of a fisherman in Greater Marrow. Initially, the job is straightforward – catching and selling fish. But soon, strange creatures from the ocean depths, mysterious beings, and unsettling events on a nearby island will challenge your sanity.

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

A challenging port

The delay is understandable, given the game's expansive world and the complexities of adapting it for mobile devices. A further closed beta is a smart move, allowing Black Salt Games to gather valuable player feedback before the official launch.
