Black Salt Games’ outstanding Cthulhu-tinged angling adventure Dredge will be adding additional content in the form of the Iron Rig from 16th August. The expansion – which follows on from last year’s glacial The Pale Reach – will cost £11.99/$11.99, and will see additional content incorporated into each location from the core game.
Here’s what the blurb explains: “Intended to be started at any time during their Dredge adventure, players will work with the Ironhaven Corporation and collect resources to build a formidable base of operations, unlocking new tiers of equipment, abilities, gadgets, and consumables.”
The overview continues: “As the drilling operation on the rig intensifies, something stirs in the primordial depths. A dark liquid begins to seep into familiar and once-safe areas of the game, transforming them into perilous zones. Players must carefully assess the impact of this mysterious substance on local fish species, unveiling peculiar specimens from the abyssal depths as they go about adding more than 50 new fish to the game’s encyclopaedia.”
Alongside the new DLC, publisher Team 17 is also releasing a physical Collector’s Edition for the title which will include the base game alongside all existing DLC, as well as a reversible cover, a 10cm Sign of Ruin talisman, a double-sided poster, a map, a complete compendium of all fish in the game, a message in a bottle, and a metal doubloon coin all housed in a layered box. Pre-orders are live through here for £99.99/$99.99.

I'm gonna love this game. Just a bit more backlog and I'll finally get it
Tried Dredge for first time the other day on Extra while in the middle of enjoying Dave the Diver and was honestly very bored throughout its first hour. Plan on giving Dredge a few more hours so hopefully could get a bit better?
@Beerheadgamer82 Wow you described my experience with it, word for word.
@AdamNovice was expecting a better first impression after reading all its positive praise and gameplay vids since it originally released. Its weird because I enjoyed the Dredge mini game version in Dave the Diver more than the actual Dredge game itself. Think Dave the Diver for me has a more fun gameplay loop I dunno. Could change when give Dredge more time though?
@AdamNovice and mine!!!
@Beerheadgamer82 give it 2 - 3 hours.. same thing almost happened to me.. but once youre rolling (or sailing) it’s a blast.. been gaming for 25 years and it’s only my 3rd ever Platinum Trophy.. once you are sailing at high speeds and start catching rare fish and sh** its actually a blast.. don’t sleep on it give it another chance!!
@Beerheadgamer82 that’s a bummer to hear I have one trophy left in Dave the diver and was about to hop into dredge. I save dredge for last because I thought it looked better!
I think Dredge takes a bit of time to get going but once your boat is upgraded it’s great.
I tried Dredge when it hit plus and fell head over heels in love with it. Finished it in two sittings, which is something I haven't done with a game in a long time.
Nice to see more dlc coming,I platinumd dave the diver,superb game...then went on to dredge..slow to start then it gets super good,another plat just last night, prob get pale reach dlc.
Great game, more relaxing to play than it is exciting. I’ll be getting both dlcs once I have the platinum
@WolfyTn I'm planning on it. Think definitely upgrading the boat will help. Done around 35 years gaming, now I feel old ha🥺
@IamJT didn't think it was terrible or anything like that, just first impressions for me on my end wasn't the best. Not experienced enough of the game yet for genuine proper opinion on it, still could be really good yet
@Beerheadgamer82 It's better when you upgrade the speed of your boat and I did like it (I bought it on sale just before it went on plus and wanted another fish fix after 80 hours with Dave. Whilst it's enjoyable it isn't as good as it could be or even as it's made out to be. The "fishing" isn't very interactive and the economy after a few hours is almost pointless because it's so easy to make money. Only trophy I have left is getting all abberated fish now and it's just a chore as I didn't realise a certain power up guarantees one. Not a bad game just not as good as Dave imo.
It just nails the creepy factor. Not a scary game by any means, you just really feel that paranoia it tries to promote on you!
@Beerheadgamer82 same heard many positive things from this game, started it yesterday. Played around 4-5 hours and absolutely intrigued by the creepy-Lighthouse vibes. My tips would be focus on upgrading the engines (singular not twin so if damaged less of a penalty), use your horn to scare away flying creatures, pin everything on the map (resources, fishes etc).
Let’s goooooo. Love another excuse to get back in and we’re getting new equipment which I’m excited for.
