The Iron Rig DLC faces a delay, but players can anticipate intriguing additions and mysteries in the world of Dredge.
Developer Black Salt Games has announced a delay for Dredge’s highly anticipated expansion, The Iron Rig DLC, originally slated for a Q4 2023 release. Instead, fans can look forward to its launch in 2024. While disappointed, the developer promises to compensate by releasing unspecified additional content by the end of this year, keeping players engaged and intrigued.
The Iron Rig expansion will delve into the enigmatic Ironhaven Corporation’s quest to establish a drilling operation within The Marrows. Amidst the eerie occurrences in the region, this seemingly straightforward mission is bound to harbor unexpected challenges. Players can anticipate the return of the core gameplay loop, involving gathering materials and encountering various deep-sea creatures while uncovering the truth behind Ironhaven’s ambitions.
Black Salt Games has diligently enhanced Dredge since its March 2023 debut. Significant updates have introduced a more functional in-game map, a photo mode, new creatures, aberrations, and boat customization options. These additions, along with numerous smaller tweaks, have contributed to stabilizing and improving the overall gameplay experience.
Even amidst the delay, critics have lauded Dredge. The Escapist’s Frost hailed it as a “humble superstar,” and even Yahtzee had positive remarks about the game. Despite the postponement, players can rest assured that exciting adventures await in the world of Dredge.
