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, maintaining and upgrading your boat, exploring the archipelago's mysteries, and confronting the unsettling events that unfold will quickly complicate matters. What lurks in the night fog?

As previously reported, Dredge's mobile port faced delays, 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 casual fishing fun, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on DLC availability remain unannounced—the main game already boasts several expansions broadening the archipelago's scope—the core experience promises a captivating blend of fishing and unsettling mystery.

With its charming low-poly aesthetic and engaging visuals, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite.
