"Dave the Diver: New DLC and Games Unveiled in AMA"

Exciting news for fans of Dave the Diver as MINTROCKET, the game's developers, have announced the development of a new story DLC and new games during an engaging AMA session on Reddit held on November 27. This new story content is set to launch in 2025, promising to continue the beloved journey of Dave and his companions. While details on the new games remain under wraps, the developers have assured fans that more information will be forthcoming.

Throughout the AMA, fans expressed their eagerness about the future of Dave the Diver, particularly regarding expansions and sequels. The developers responded with enthusiasm, emphasizing their affection for Dave and the game's characters. They confirmed their focus on the upcoming Story DLC and quality-of-life updates, ensuring that fans can expect a steady stream of new content.

MINTROCKET also shared that a separate team within the studio is hard at work on a new game, although specifics are scarce as these projects are in their early stages. This news has sparked anticipation among the Dave the Diver community, eager to see what new adventures the studio will embark on.

The developers have a history of successful collaborations, notably with the Godzilla franchise, which brought unique characters and features into the game. The recent "Dave & Friends" update introduced Balatro, and the collaboration with Shift Up allowed the integration of the Goddess of Victory: Nikke universe. Jaeho, the game's director, shared an amusing anecdote about reaching out to the Dredge team, highlighting the developers' proactive approach to partnerships. Future collaborations with titles like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock are on the wish list, alongside potential artist collaborations similar to their work with mxmtoon.

Despite the game's widespread popularity, Dave the Diver has yet to make its way to Xbox consoles or Game Pass. In response to a fan's query during the AMA, the developers explained that while they aim to make the game accessible to as many players as possible, porting to a new platform like Xbox requires significant preparation and time, especially given their current development schedule. Earlier speculation about a July 2024 Xbox release, sparked by Spanish YouTuber eXtas1s, did not come to fruition, and the team reiterated their need for more time to ensure a quality release on Xbox.

While the wait for an Xbox version continues, Dave the Diver fans have much to look forward to with the upcoming story DLC and the promise of new games from MINTROCKET. The developers' commitment to expanding the Dave the Diver universe and exploring new creative ventures keeps the community engaged and excited for what's next.
