The highly anticipated mobile port of Dredge, Black Salt Games' Lovecraftian fishing horror adventure, has been delayed until February 2025. However, the developers have announced a new closed beta with open registration to soften the blow.
Dredge casts players as a fisherman in the eerie town of Greater Marrow. Initially, the work involves the simple task of catching and selling fish. However, the tranquil fishing experience quickly descends into a chilling journey filled with strange sea creatures, mysterious entities, and unsettling occurrences on a nearby island, culminating in the threat of madness.
Interested players can register for the closed mobile beta via a Google Form. Despite the delay, the numerous awards and critical acclaim Dredge has already received suggest the wait will be worthwhile for those who haven't yet experienced this unique blend of horror and fishing gameplay.
The delay, while unfortunate, is understandable given the complexity of porting such a vast game to mobile. The additional closed beta offers a valuable opportunity for players to provide feedback and further refine the mobile experience. This thoughtful approach demonstrates Black Salt Games' commitment to delivering a high-quality mobile port.
