The highly anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, Dredge, is finally setting sail for mobile devices on February 27th! After several release date shifts, fishing aficionados can prepare to experience the sanity-bending isolation of the deep sea.
In Dredge, you'll take on the role of a nameless fisherman navigating the treacherous waters around a desolate archipelago. Your initial task seems simple: catch fish and sell them to the islanders. However, maintaining and upgrading your boat, exploring the archipelago's mysteries, and facing the unsettling events that unfold at night will quickly complicate matters. What lurks in the fog?
As previously reported, Dredge's mobile port faced delays, originally slated for February 2025. Now, with the February 27th launch date confirmed on the iOS App Store listing (the Android Google Play listing is pending), the wait is almost over.
Beyond the relaxing act of fishing, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on potential DLC remain unannounced—the main game already boasts several expansions—the core experience promises captivating gameplay.
With its charming low-poly aesthetic and engaging visual style, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite.
