For all you fishing aficionados eagerly awaiting the chance to dive into the sanity-shredding isolation of the deep sea, the wait is finally over. Dredge, the highly anticipated eldritch fishing simulator, is set to launch on mobile devices on February 27th, following a few shifts in its release schedule.

In Dredge, you take on the role of a nameless fisherman navigating the depths around a desolate island chain.

However, the game becomes more intricate as you manage and upgrade your boat, explore the mysterious archipelago, and encounter eerie phenomena lurking in the fog at night.

While the Android Google Play listing is yet to be updated, fans can now mark their calendars for the imminent arrival of this unique gaming experience.

Oh, I do love to be beside the seasideBeyond the casual fun of fishing, Dredge offers a surprisingly deep upgrade system and a rich tapestry of Lovecraftian horror elements. Although details about potential DLC are still under wraps, the main game already includes expansions that expand the archipelago's scope.

With its low-poly yet engaging visual style, Dredge is poised to become a favorite among mobile gamers. The final release date marks an exciting moment for fans who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
