Dave the Diver Devs Announce New Story DLC and Future Games in Reddit AMA
MINTROCKET, the developers behind the popular underwater adventure game Dave the Diver, recently held an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, revealing exciting news for fans. The studio confirmed that a new story DLC is in the works, slated for release in 2025. Beyond the DLC, MINTROCKET also announced that a separate team within the studio is developing a brand new game, though details remain scarce at this early stage.
The developers expressed their continued passion for Dave the Diver's universe and characters, emphasizing their commitment to expanding the game's narrative and adding quality-of-life improvements. While a sequel wasn't explicitly confirmed, the positive response to fan inquiries about the game's future strongly suggests ongoing development beyond the upcoming DLC.
Collaborations and Future Partnerships
The AMA also touched upon the game's successful collaborations, including partnerships with the Godzilla franchise and Goddess of Victory: Nikke. MINTROCKET shared anecdotes about their collaborative process, highlighting the enthusiasm and hard work involved in bringing these crossovers to life. The developers expressed interest in future collaborations, mentioning titles like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock as potential dream partnerships.
The team even recounted a humorous story about the director's attempt to initiate a collaboration with Dredge, showcasing their proactive approach to securing partnerships. They also reiterated their desire to work with more artists, building on their previous successful collaboration with mxmtoon.
Xbox Release Remains Unconfirmed
Despite the game's popularity, Dave the Diver is not currently available on Xbox consoles or Game Pass. While the developers acknowledged the desire to bring the game to a wider audience, they explained that the current development schedule doesn't allow them to pursue an Xbox release at this time. They assured fans that any future news regarding an Xbox port will be announced as soon as possible.
This clarifies previous speculation about a July 2024 Xbox release, which proved inaccurate. While disappointing for Xbox players, the possibility of a future release remains open. For now, the focus remains on the upcoming story DLC and the exciting new game currently in development.
