The developers of the popular fishing video game Dredge have revealed the roadmap for new content and features that fans can expect in 2023.
As revealed on the PlayStation Blog, marp markers are coming in May, followed by Passive Mode that will provide a less intense experience, featuring non-aggressive monsters. The same update will also include a Photo Mode in the form of a character that will help you unlock the camera and will share clue on how to find fauna to snap pictures of. This will come toward the end of Q2.
The third update will come in Q3 and will include boat customization like unlockable as paint schemes and flags. Everything mentioned so far will be free, while Q4 will see the release of a paid DLC focused on the Ironhaven Corporation, which is aiming to establish a drilling operation but may have mysterious motives.
The player will will be tasked with gathering materials to construct new buildings and biomatter to fuel the rig, meeting new characters, crafting new equipment, and catching new fish. You can find the full roadmap below.
