As a long-time fan of horror games, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming mobile port of Dredge! Ever since its release in 2023, this game has been a staple in my horror gaming library with its immersive world design and atmospheric gameplay that keeps me on the edge of my seat. The thought of being able to take this eldritch horror fishing adventure with me wherever I go is simply fantastic!


A developer from Black Salt Games has revealed plans for mobile versions (Android and iOS) of the highly praised eldritch horror fishing game, Dredge, which was released in 2023. Since its debut, the game has been gathering a substantial fanbase due to its immersive gameplay and its ability to create a fear of the ocean (thalassophobia). Now, enthusiasts of this title will be able to experience the horror RPG adventure on-the-go soon.

Often praised as one of the top horror games released in 2023, Dredge is a standalone horror fishing game that puts players in the role of a solitary fisherman and his reliable trawler. At first glance, newcomers might think that Dredge is a quaint, if peculiar game. However, the world of Dredge is far from cozy; it’s teeming with serious danger. Sea monsters frequently rise from the depths to attack any unlucky ships. Furthermore, players must constantly sell their catches to amass money for upgrading their ship, completing quests, and learning how to venture further into the deep sea to uncover the numerous secrets hidden within the game’s environment.

The game Dredge has been made accessible across multiple platforms, including being added to the PS Plus Extra and Premium collections in May. However, the developer Joel Mason disclosed that more plans are underway for this title. On Twitter, Mason announced that the game will be available on Mac, iOS, and Android on December 18th. Moreover, he shared previews of the App Store page for the forthcoming port. Furthermore, Mason confirmed that users on iOS and Mac devices can test a demo version of the game before purchasing it in full. Additionally, users on iOS and Mac platforms have the option to pre-order the game, although Google Play Store users will have to wait since the studio is currently addressing some platform-related problems.

The Dredge Mobile Port Might Feature DLCs

Mason failed to clarify whether the Dredge’s Iron Rig and Pale Reach DLCs would come bundled with the mobile (Android and iOS) editions of the game, despite the developer stating that the mobile ports will contain the entire game. It is uncertain if these DLCs will be included in the base purchase or if Black Salt Games intends to offer them as separate in-app purchases, similar to their implementation on Steam and console platforms.

Enthusiasts of the series are undoubtedly elated about the mobile versions of their cherished fishing game, but they’re equally excited for updates on the live-action movie adaption of “Dredge“. The production of this movie is being done in collaboration with Story Kitchen, a studio that has previously produced both popular Sonic the Hedgehog films and the upcoming third one as well.
