DREADMOOR, the dark fishing adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world wades through corrupted waters in the newest gameplay trailer today, as revealed during IGN Fan Fest. Publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment and developer Dream Dock Games catch unspeakable evils hook, line and sinker in Q4 2026 on PC via Steam.
A plague-ravaged world in the early 20th century conceals untold treasures beneath its depths, but only the most ice-veined, fearless fisherman can turn a profit in the Submerged Lands. As murky waters blur the lines between predator and prey, gas up a small-but-mighty vessel and trawl through ominous waterways teeming with mutant life…with an acquired taste for human flesh.
Scrounge for materials and parts on land, then cast a line to reel in dozens of sordid sea creatures, each with varying value, rarity and strength levels. There’s always a bigger fish — start with simpler catches like the peaceful Softgrazer, then upgrade equipment capable of landing deadlier, more valuable predatory fish like the Bristler.
After a long day (or night) of fishing, cash in the day’s catch with the ichthyic shopkeeper in exchange for cold hard cash. Purchase parts to turn a basic boat into a floating fortress by both strengthening its hull and boosting its speed to chase down (or escape) even tougher hunts that lie ahead.
Preparation is key, as no one enters these waters at the top of the food chain. Craft plenty of bait, harpoons and health kits before every run. Unlock and equip both special lures and stronger lines capable of paralyzing dangerous fish and survive heavier hauls.
“DREADMOOR is a love-letter to our studio’s two obsessions: classic horror movies, and fishing!” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock Games. “We have so much more to share in the coming months. Stay tuned!”
DREADMOOR is coming to PC via Steam in Q4 2026. For more information, wishlist the game, join the official Discord server, and follow DREADMOOR on X/Twitter for the latest updates.
