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, the wait is almost over for those eager to experience the sanity-bending isolation of deep-sea fishing.

In Dredge, you'll take on the role of a nameless fisherman navigating the treacherous waters surrounding 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 confronting the unsettling occurrences lurking in the night fog will quickly complicate matters.

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 long-awaited arrival is imminent.

Beyond the relaxing core gameplay of fishing, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a generous helping of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile DLC remain unannounced, the main game already boasts several expansions that significantly expand the archipelago's scope.

With its charming low-poly aesthetic and engaging visuals, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite. For those eagerly awaiting its release, the February 27th launch date should bring much-needed relief.
