Dredge was only one of many titles that received discounts on the PlayStation Store as part of a sale centered around indie games. Other popular releases like the comfy farm simulator Stardew Valley and the vampire survival game V Rising that was ported to the Sony PlayStation 5 in June were also given significant price cuts. Bundles, expansions, and premium currencies for featured indie games are part of the sale as well.
The Iron Rig DLC for Dredge was released alongside the game's 1.5.1 update that went live on August 15. It is the title's second expansion, adding a host of new content such as a new buildable destination, side story, equipment, achievements, and more than 50 types of fish, among other things. The 1.5.1 update for Dredge addressed several issues, including one that caused save files to become overwritten if the game failed to load them properly. This latest build made various other changes as well.
Dredge is being developed by Black Salt Games, a studio based in New Zealand. The team was recently featured in a documentary produced by media company Noclip, which has covered other developers like Bethesda Game Studios, CD Projekt Red, and Valve in the past. A live-action film adaptation of Dredge is currently being produced by Story Kitchen.

WHERE TO PLAY
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...
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.
