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 initial task is straightforward: catch fish and sell them to the islanders. However, the challenge deepens as you manage boat upgrades, explore the archipelago's mysteries, and confront the unsettling encounters lurking in the night's fog.

As previously reported, Dredge's mobile port faced a delay, initially slated for February 2025. Now, with the February 27th release date confirmed on the iOS App Store listing (the Android Google Play listing is pending), the wait is almost over.

Beyond the relaxing fishing gameplay, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous dose of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile DLC remain unannounced, the core game already boasts several expansions enriching the archipelago's exploration.

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