Team17 and developer Black Salt Games have announced that a new expansion is on its way for Dredge, The Iron Rig and will come to all platforms this August 15. Check out the trailer for it below.

This is the second expansion for the game, which follows on from The Pale Reach that released in 2022, along with a number of free updates and this time it will see players revisiting every area from the base game with renewed purpose.

Intended to be started at any time during their adventure, players will work with the Ironhaven Corporation and collect resources to build a formidable base of operations, unlocking new tiers of equipment, abilities, gadgets, and consumables.

As the drilling operation on the rig intensifies, something stirs in the primordial depths. A dark liquid begins to seep into familiar and once-safe areas of the game, transforming them into perilous zones. Players must carefully assess the impact of this mysterious substance on local fish species, unveiling peculiar specimens from the abyssal depths as they go about adding more than 50 new fish to the game’s encyclopaedia. The Iron Rig expansion adds a new tier of fishing equipment, as well as new characters to interact with, new hazards to overcome, and new world events and lore to uncover.

The update is coming on August 15 for PC, Switch, Xbox and PlayStation.

In addition to the DLC coming digitally, later this year a Collector’s Edition of the game will also release, which will see players score the game, as well as a Fish Species Notebook, replica coin, Sign of Ruin and a map. Orders will be available globally and that includes us, you will need to check back here as different countries are being added at random.
