For all you fishing aficionados just dying to experience the sanity-shredding isolation of the deep sea, you'll be thrilled to know that the wait is finally over. The hotly-anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is set to make its mobile debut on February 27th after several shifts in its release schedule.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the mysterious waters surrounding a desolate island chain. Your primary task seems straightforward—catch fish and supply the islanders. However, the game deepens as you manage your sanity, maintain and upgrade your boat, and explore the archipelago's eerie secrets. What lurks in the fog at night? That's part of the chilling allure that awaits you.
Originally slated for a later release, as I reported late last year, Dredge's mobile port faced delays pushing its launch to February 2025. Now, with the updated iOS App Store listing reflecting the new date of February 27th, anticipation is at an all-time high. While the Android Google Play listing is yet to go live, the excitement is palpable across platforms.
Oh I do love to be beside the seaside
Beyond the casual joy of fishing, Dredge offers a robust upgrade system and a deep dive into Lovecraftian horror, promising an immersive experience. Although details on mobile-specific DLC remain under wraps, the mainline game's expansions hint at a broader exploration of the archipelago's mysteries.
With its engaging low-poly aesthetic, Dredge is poised to become a beloved title among mobile gamers. The final release date is set, and the excitement is undeniable.
