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

Dredge, the critically acclaimed eldritch fishing simulator, is finally setting sail for mobile devices! Initially slated for a later release, the game is now officially launching on February 27th.

After several release date shifts, fishing enthusiasts can finally experience the unsettling isolation of deep-sea fishing. In Dredge, players take on the role of an unnamed fisherman navigating a desolate archipelago. The core gameplay involves fishing, selling your catch to islanders, upgrading your boat, and uncovering the archipelago's mysteries. But beware the lurking horrors that emerge from the night fog...

As previously reported, the mobile port faced delays, originally pushed back to February 2025. However, the iOS App Store listing has been updated to reflect the new February 27th launch date. The Android Google Play listing is expected to follow shortly.

Beyond the core fishing mechanics, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror. While details on mobile DLC remain unannounced, the base game already includes several expansions that significantly expand the game world.

With its charming low-poly visuals and engaging gameplay, Dredge is poised to become a mobile gaming favorite. For more on upcoming game releases and gaming news, check out the latest Pocket Gamer Podcast featuring myself, Will Quick, and Catherine Dellosa.
