After receiving significant critical acclaim, Black Salt Games has announced a roadmap for post-launch updates coming to Dredge. All of these are free, starting with Map Markers in May. It allows for using different icons to mark shipwrecks, mysteries and more while keeping track of locations.
Q2 2023 sees the release of the new Passive Mode, turning monsters non-aggressive for those who want to concentrate on fishing. Photo Mode is also coming, with a new character that will help unlock the camera ability. They’ll also provide details of local wildlife (including new creatures) to photograph.
The third update, Boat Point, is set for Q3 2023 and features boat customization. You can paint your trawler with new colors and add flags, though more details will be revealed later. Finally, in Q4 2023, paid DLC will be released focusing on the Ironhaven Corporation and its new drilling operation.
Though it aims to “revitalize the towns and populations,” they seem to have other motives. New buildings, characters and fish await, along with a rig that requires biomatter.
Dredge is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Check out our official review for more details.
