In a 12 months full of rad fishing sims, Dredge was arguably the perfect. It got here out in March 2023 and crammed the moist, eldritch-horror-shaped gap within the 12 months’s gaming catalogue — and now, it is going to be a film. Developer Black Salt Video games and media firm Story Kitchen are partnering to show Dredge right into a live-action characteristic movie. The undertaking’s logline is, “Suppose The Sixth Sense on the water. A grounded atmospheric cosmic horror mix of HP Lovecraft and Ernest Hemingway.” That is not not an outline of Dredge as a online game, so it appears like we’re off to a effective begin.
As a movie, Dredge will in all probability focus much less on stock administration, boat upgrades and constant seafloor dragging, and extra on the sport’s Lovecraftian water monsters and moody, foggy ambiance. Story Kitchen is the manufacturing firm behind a variety of in-progress online game diversifications, together with the Sifu live-action film and Vampire Survivors animated TV collection. There is not any phrase on a timeframe for the Dredge movie, nevertheless it’ll doubtless seem after we least anticipate it, rising instantly from the metaphorical depths.
