Dave the Diver to get story DLC and more in future

Dave the Diver is a “casual, singleplayer adventure RPG featuring deep-sea exploration and fishing during the day and sushi restaurant management at night”. Released last year, the title received wide acclaim for its chill nature, comedic chops and satisfying gameplay loop. Following its success, the team at Mintrocket have confirmed that they are working on story-focused DLC for the game.

In an interview conducted by VGC, the CEO of Dave the Diver studio Mintrocket – Jaeho Hwang – revealed the team’s plans for future content, saying:

“I want to expand Dave the Diver IP itself. I think that’s every director’s dream, since we have a relatable character. But actually, we didn’t go really deep into the personal stories in Dave the Diver, because we wanted to keep the game very casual.”

Hwang continued, “So as a director, besides the story DLC that we’re working on right now, I also want to make separate games about each character to show how they met, what they did before coming to the Blue Hole. In that sense, the games’ genres can be different. Maybe one day, if we start to make a Dave’s backstory game, we could make Dave [another profession]. He’s always been a diver, so we really haven’t thought about how we should move with Dave.”
