Calling all fishing enthusiasts eager to dive into the chilling depths of the sea! The wait is finally over for the highly anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, which is set to launch on mobile devices on February 27th. This release comes after several shifts in its scheduled debut, making the arrival even more exciting for fans.
In Dredge, you step into the boots of a nameless fisherman navigating the waters around a desolate archipelago. Your primary task seems straightforward: catch fish and sell them to the island's inhabitants. However, the game deepens as you manage and upgrade your boat, explore the archipelago, and unravel its mysterious secrets. And when the fog rolls in at night, you might just catch a glimpse of something... unsettling.
As reported late last year, Dredge's mobile release was initially delayed until February 2025. But now, that date is just around the corner. The iOS App Store listing has been updated with the new release date, although the Android Google Play listing is yet to go live.
Beyond the simple joy of fishing, Dredge offers a rich upgrade system and delves into Lovecraftian horror, promising an immersive experience. While details on available DLC remain under wraps, the mainline game already boasts expansions that expand the archipelago's mysteries.
With its low-poly yet captivating visual style, Dredge is poised to become a favorite among mobile gamers. If February 27th marks the final release date, it's sure to thrill many who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
