DREDGE downloadable content “The Iron Rig” will launch on August 16 for $11.99 / €11.99 / £11.99, publisher Team17 and developer Black Salt Games announced.
Here is an overview of the downloadable content, via Team17:
Following the launch of “The Pale Reach” last year, “The Iron Rig” is the game’s second premium expansion and will see players revisiting every area from the base game with renewed purpose. Intended to be started at any time during their DREDGE 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.
In addition to the downloadable content, Team17 announced that a physical Collectors’ Edition of DREDGE is now available for pre-order for PlayStation 5 and Switch for $99.99 / £99.99 / €99.99. It contains the base game, all downloadable content, exclusive artwork and reversible inlay, a 10-centimetr replica of the Sign of Ruin talisman, a double-sided poster, a map, a complete compendium of all fish and their aberrant variants, a message in a bottle from Black Salt Games, and a metal doubloon coin all housed in a layered box featuring exclusive artwork.
DREDGE is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG.
