TEAM17 TO PUBLISH SINISTER FISHING ADVENTURE ‘DREDGE’

Saturday, 27th August 2022 – 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.

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 archipelago. 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.
