MINTROCKET, the developers behind the hit game Dave the Diver, recently held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) 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. While details on these new titles remain scarce, the developers confirmed a separate team is dedicated to their creation.
The AMA also shed light on the future of Dave the Diver. Addressing numerous fan inquiries about expansions and sequels, the developers emphasized their continued commitment to the game and its characters, promising a continued stream of new content. Their immediate focus, however, is on the upcoming story DLC and quality-of-life updates.
Collaborations also featured prominently in the discussion. Dave the Diver has previously partnered with franchises like Godzilla and Goddess of Victory: Nikke, resulting in engaging crossovers. The developers shared anecdotes about their collaborative experiences, highlighting both proactive outreach (such as contacting Dredge's developers) and inbound requests (like the collaboration with Goddess of Victory: Nikke). They expressed enthusiasm for future partnerships, mentioning potential collaborations with titles like Subnautica, ABZU, and BioShock, along with further artistic collaborations.
Finally, the AMA addressed the highly anticipated question of an Xbox release. While the developers expressed a desire to bring Dave the Diver to Xbox and Game Pass, they clarified that their current development schedule prevents them from committing to a timeframe. This confirmation dispels earlier speculation regarding a 2024 release. Despite the setback, the possibility remains open, and any future announcements will be shared promptly. The focus, for now, remains firmly on delivering the exciting new story DLC and laying the groundwork for future projects.
