DAVE THE DIVER

Dave the Diver has maintained a strong post-launch content cadence since its June 28, 2023 release, with major paid content packs arriving at regular intervals: the DREDGE crossover (December 15, 2023), the Godzilla collaboration (May 23, 2024), Ichiban's Holiday (April 10, 2025), and the "In the Jungle" story DLC (June 18, 2026). The most significant update since the previous assessment is today's announcement (October 8, 2026): MINTROCKET officially revealed a collaboration with Subnautica 2, with a dedicated DLC listed on the store as unreleased and explicitly targeting a Steam release in early 2027. This is concrete, announced future content — the DLC store listing confirms it, and the developer's announcement post describes it in detail. Between the In the Jungle launch and today, the developer has continued actively supporting the game. A substantial content patch on August 6, 2026 added new monsters, hidden spirits, a boss encounter, story content, and new furniture for In the Jungle DLC owners. The September 15, 2026 patch delivered the GGST collaboration DLC (Guilty Gear Strive crossover) with new weapons, restaurant cosplay guests, and a rhythm game track. A July 22, 2026 developer video update specifically addressed future content plans and modding support for the Jungle DLC. The developer teased "something new" ahead of the October 8 Triple-i Initiative showcase (announced September 14, 2026), which was fulfilled by the Subnautica 2 DLC reveal — consistent with the developer's established pattern of announcing upcoming content through showcase events.
