DLC and New Games Surfaced in Dave the Diver Dev Chat

MINTROCKET, the developers behind the popular diving game Dave the Diver, recently hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, revealing exciting news about upcoming content and future projects. The key takeaways include a new story DLC slated for release in 2025, and the confirmation of a new game currently in early development stages.

New Story DLC and a New Game on the Horizon

The Reddit AMA confirmed the development of a substantial story DLC expanding upon the existing narrative. While specifics remain scarce, the developers expressed their commitment to continuing Dave and the other characters' journey, assuring fans that the DLC is a priority alongside quality-of-life updates. Adding to the excitement, MINTROCKET also announced a separate team is working on a completely new game, though details on this project are still under wraps.

Collaborations and Future Partnerships

Dave the Diver has garnered attention for its collaborations with other franchises, such as Godzilla and Goddess of Victory: Nikke. The developers shared anecdotes about these partnerships, highlighting their collaborative approach and enthusiasm for future collaborations. They expressed interest in working with titles like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock, as well as continuing to partner with artists. While these are aspirational goals, the focus for now remains on the upcoming story DLC.

Xbox Release Remains Unconfirmed

Despite numerous fan inquiries, the AMA confirmed that Dave the Diver is not currently slated for release on Xbox consoles or Game Pass. While the developers expressed a desire to bring the game to a wider audience, they cited their current hectic development schedule as the reason for the delay. This unfortunately dashes hopes fueled by earlier speculation of a July 2024 release. However, the possibility remains open for future consideration.

The AMA concluded with a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future of the Dave the Diver universe. The new story DLC promises to significantly expand the game's narrative, and the announcement of a new game hints at a bright future for MINTROCKET. While some questions remain unanswered, the developers' passion and commitment are evident, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
