TEAM17 TO PUBLISH SINISTER FISHING ADVENTURE ‘DREDGE’; LEAVES SAFE HARBOUR IN 2023
Explore a mysterious archipelago and fish the unfathomable next year on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, and Xbox
Team17 and New Zealand-based developer Black Salt Games have today announced a publishing partnership to bring DREDGE, an upcoming single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent, to PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S consoles in 2023.
Apprentice anglers and associate ichthyologists can enjoy a brand-new announcement trailer.
In DREDGE, players will step into the boots of a down-on-their luck fisherman and explore a collection of remote isles while scouring the surrounding depths for a variety of fish and valuable deep-sea curios. Once their trawler is full, they can sell their haul to the peculiar locals while completing quests and unravelling more about each area. They can also reinforce their vessel, skills, and knowledge to dredge deeper and reach more secluded lands.
Beginning in their new home in the remote islands of ‘The Marrows’, players will be able to investigate each inlet while completing tasks for the yesteryear locals and taking trips to neighbouring regions – each with their own unique fish to find, inhabitants to meet, and secrets to uncover.
Those interested in going hands-on with DREDGE can try the demo at Gamescom this weekend via the Team17 booth.
