During the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, Developer Mintrocket announced Dave The Diver – In The Jungle DLC will be released on June 18. It will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
A physical edition was also announced for Dave The Diver for Switch 2 and PlayStation 5, which includes the full DLC lineup.
Here is an overview of Dave The Diver – In The Jungle DLC via Mintrocket:
‘In the Jungle’ sees Dave venture into all new territory, as he embraces new freshwater responsibilities, meets the locals, helps familiar friends, and explores unfamiliar waters. This quaint jungle village is brimming with opportunity…and just a splash of danger. The DLC launches with approximately 10 hours of content, introducing surprising new encounters and mechanics that branch boldly away from the base game and previous DLCs.
THE VILLAGE
Welcome to Utara, a jungle village where time flows in real-time. Here, Dave can spend his days freely diving underwater, gathering fruits and resources — and, naturally, building relationships with the locals by completing tasks and side quests. As ever, Dave finds himself surrounded by potential friends (and future customers) whose trust and patronage must be earned. As relationships deepen, so too do the rewards, unlocking new opportunities throughout Utara and creating ripple effects that extend all the way to Bancho’s restaurant business.
NEW RESTAURANT
One of “In the Jungle’s” biggest departures from the base game is the introduction of Bancho Grill, a brand-new restaurant in Utara featuring a fully cooked freshwater menu.
Unlike Bancho Sushi, where movement was limited, Dave can now move freely throughout the Grill, serving customers across multiple areas rather than a single horizontal plane. As Dave’s bonds with villagers grow, they’ll begin visiting Bancho Grill as diners, making the restaurant a key hub, and a vital link, between Dave and the village community.
SYSTEMS & WEAPONS
This time around, Dave dives into a massive freshwater lake instead of the Blue Hole — one packed with new aquatic life, unexpected cuisine options, and plenty of lurking danger. New waters demand new tools, and Mintrocket revealed Dave’s latest piece of gear: the Jungle Gun. This versatile weapon can freely transform into net guns, shotguns, snipers, or regular guns, allowing Dave to adapt on the fly and giving players the freedom to experiment with their preferred combat styles.
