Upcoming ‘DREDGE’ DLC “The Iron Rig” Pushed to 2024
Those of you DREDGE fans waiting on the next DLC for the Lovecraftian fishing game, entitled “The Iron Rig”, will sadly have to wait a little longer for it to arrive. The DLC was set for a Q4 2023 release, but has now been pushed to 2024.
The Black Salt Games team announced the delay for The Iron Rig DLC on the DREDGE Steam page, saying that the original plan was to spend a few months developing the DLC with the hopes of releasing it later this year. Now, the given the time of the year, the developer realizes that they need more time to coordinate with marketing to make the DLC’s launch “as exciting as it could be.”
“We were genuinely disheartened because we knew had made a commitment to all our dedicated players, but we firmly believed there was only one path forward and that was to delay ‘The Iron Rig’ until next year while still delivering an exciting DLC to our players in 2023.”
It’s not all bad news, however. In the same post, the team says that they’ve been “hard at work” creating additional content for DREDGE, with the plan to share more details “soon” regarding its launch and price point. “We understand that this isn’t what we had originally promised but we hope you understand. Your support means the world to us.”
DREDGE is available now digitally on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
