Dredge, the eldritch fishing sim, is set to hit mobile later this month with new release date

The unsettling fishing simulator Dredge sets sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date adjustments, fishing enthusiasts can finally experience the sanity-bending isolation of the deep sea.

Initially slated for a February 2025 mobile launch, Dredge has been updated on the iOS App Store with the new February 27th release date. The Android Google Play listing isn't yet live, but the wait is almost over.

In Dredge, you'll assume the role of a nameless fisherman navigating a desolate archipelago. Your task: catch fish, sell them to the islanders, and upgrade your boat. However, the tranquil fishing experience is punctuated by exploration, mysterious occurrences, and unsettling nocturnal encounters shrouded in fog.

Beyond the core fishing gameplay, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. Details on potential DLC remain unannounced, though the original game boasts several expansions that broaden the archipelago's mysteries.

The game's low-poly aesthetic and engaging visual style make it a promising addition to mobile gaming. For more on upcoming releases and gaming news, listen to the latest Pocket Gamer Podcast featuring Will Quick and Catherine Dellosa.
