The developers of *Dave the Diver*, MINTROCKET, recently held an engaging AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, where they unveiled exciting plans for the game's future. Fans were thrilled to learn about a new story DLC set to launch in 2025, promising to expand the beloved narrative of Dave and his underwater adventures. While details about the new games in development remain scarce, the team assured fans that more content is on the horizon, with further information to be shared soon.
During the AMA, MINTROCKET expressed their deep affection for the game's characters and their commitment to continuing their journey. They emphasized their focus on the upcoming Story DLC and quality-of-life updates, ensuring that fans can look forward to a steady stream of new content. Additionally, the studio revealed that a separate team is working on a new game, although it's still in the early stages of development.
*Dave the Diver* has also made waves with its collaborations, partnering with popular titles like the Godzilla franchise and integrating games like Balatro through the "Dave & Friends" update. The developers shared their enthusiasm for these collaborations, recounting their successful partnership with Shift Up for the *Goddess of Victory: Nikke* crossover. They also humorously recounted reaching out to the *Dredge* team, which initially doubted the authenticity of the request. Looking ahead, MINTROCKET expressed hopes for more collaborations, mentioning dream partnerships with games like *Subnautica*, *ABZU*, and *BioShock*, as well as potential collaborations with artists.
Despite its popularity, *Dave the Diver* is yet to make its way to Xbox consoles or Game Pass. In response to a fan's query during the AMA, the developers acknowledged their desire to make the game accessible to as many players as possible but noted that supporting a new platform requires significant preparation. They confirmed that an Xbox release is not imminent due to their current hectic development schedule but promised to announce any updates as soon as they can. Earlier speculation about a July 2024 Xbox release has not materialized, leaving Xbox fans hopeful for future news.
