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 announced a new story DLC slated for release in 2025, alongside the development of entirely new games.
The AMA confirmed the team's dedication to the Dave the Diver universe, stating their desire to continue the characters' adventures. While the specifics of the new games remain undisclosed, the developers confirmed a separate team is working on them, indicating a broader expansion of their portfolio. The immediate focus, however, is on the upcoming story DLC and quality-of-life updates.
Collaborations and Future Partnerships:
The AMA also touched upon the game's successful collaborations, such as the Godzilla crossover and the recent partnership with Goddess of Victory: Nikke. The developers shared anecdotes about their collaborative processes, highlighting their proactive approach in reaching out to potential partners, even recounting a humorous attempt to collaborate with Dredge. They expressed enthusiasm for future collaborations, mentioning dream partnerships with titles like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock, as well as a continued interest in working with artists.
Xbox Release Remains Uncertain:
Despite numerous fan inquiries, MINTROCKET confirmed that Dave the Diver is not currently planned for release on Xbox consoles or Game Pass. While they aim to bring the game to as many platforms as possible, the significant resources required for a new platform launch are currently beyond their capacity given their busy development schedule. This clarifies earlier speculation regarding a July 2024 Xbox release.
The AMA concluded with a renewed sense of excitement for the future of Dave the Diver and the promise of more news regarding the upcoming story DLC and other projects soon. Fans can anticipate further updates and announcements from MINTROCKET in the coming months.
