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

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 surrounding a desolate archipelago. Your task: catch fish and trade them with the islanders. But maintaining and upgrading your boat, exploring the archipelago's mysteries, and facing the unsettling unknowns lurking in the night fog will add layers of complexity to your simple fishing routine.

As previously reported, the mobile port of Dredge faced delays, initially slated for February 2025. However, the iOS App Store listing has been updated with the new February 27th release date. The Android Google Play listing is not yet live, but we anticipate its arrival soon.

Beyond the casual fishing fun, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on potential DLC are yet to be revealed, the core game already boasts expansions that significantly broaden the archipelago's scope.

With its charming low-poly aesthetic and engaging visuals, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite. Many players eagerly await its arrival after the extended wait.
