MINTROCKET, the developers behind the hit game Dave the Diver, recently held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, revealing exciting news about upcoming content. The studio announced a new story DLC slated for release in 2025, along with the exciting news that they have a separate team working on entirely new games. While details regarding these new titles remain scarce, the developers confirmed they are in very early stages of development.
The AMA also shed light on the future of Dave the Diver. Responding to numerous fan inquiries about expansions and sequels, the developers expressed their continued dedication to the game's world and characters, stating a desire to "continue on with their journey." They emphasized their current focus on the upcoming story DLC and quality-of-life updates, assuring fans that "new content will definitely keep on coming."
The session further highlighted Dave the Diver's successful collaborations. The developers discussed past partnerships, such as the "Dave & Friends" update featuring Balatro from the Godzilla franchise and the collaboration with Goddess of Victory: Nikke. They shared anecdotes about initiating collaborations, including a humorous tale of the director contacting the Dredge team via Discord. The team expressed their enthusiasm for future collaborations, mentioning dream partnerships with games like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock, as well as a continued interest in working with artists.
Finally, addressing the highly anticipated question of an Xbox release, the developers acknowledged the desire to bring the game to the platform but stated that their current development schedule prevents them from pursuing it at this time. While disappointing for Xbox gamers, the developers affirmed their commitment to making the game accessible to as many players as possible and promised to announce any future Xbox news as it becomes available. This clarifies previous speculation regarding a July 2024 release, which ultimately did not materialize.
