Evaluation

DREDGE launched on March 30, 2023 and was followed by two paid expansions: The Pale Reach on November 16, 2023 and The Iron Rig on August 15, 2024. The Iron Rig is the most recent substantial content. Every DLC item on the store is available, including the launch-day Blackstone Key, soundtrack and artbook, and none is listed as upcoming. The developer's last announcement of planned content was a December 18, 2023 update saying work on The Iron Rig was underway, and that expansion has since arrived. Later developer posts covered a macOS version launching December 18, 2024 that brings the base game and both expansions to Mac players, and a security update to the game's Unity engine dated October 3, 2025. Neither added new content. No new expansion, roadmap or upcoming item has been announced since The Iron Rig arrived on August 15, 2024, so the game appears finished as of that date. The October 3, 2025 post is the most recent developer communication in the record.

About this game

Captain your fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Sell your catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. Outfit your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands, but keep an eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark...

Explore the Islands & Discover their Secrets

Starting from your new home in the remote archipelago, ‘The Marrows’, take to the water and scour the depths for curious collectables and over 125 deep sea denizens. Explore each area while completing quests and visiting neighbouring island regions – each with their own unique opportunities, inhabitants, and secrets.

Dredge the Depths

Someone wants you to dig up the past, but can you trust them and will it ever be enough?

Beware the Fog

Danger is everywhere, so watch for sharp rocks and shallow reefs, though the biggest threats of all lurk within the fog that cloaks the night-time seas...
