"Dave the Diver is a modest game that has expanded like Dave's belt size. The underwater adventure and restaurant management sim mash-up was a surprise hit, and has since spawned crossover efforts with fishing game Dredge, the kaiju Godzilla, and even Ichiban Kasuga of the Like A Dragon series. Now the game is preparing to dive back in with the In The Jungle expansion in early 2026."
"In Dave the Diver, we felt we had done a fair job showcasing the mystique of the ocean, so we wanted to explore a completely different world this time. The jungle biome was something we had been eager to try since the early days of developing Dave the Diver. We couldn't include fascinating freshwater creatures like alligators or piranhas before, and players have been asking for them a lot."
Dave the Diver blends underwater exploration with restaurant management and has expanded through crossovers with games such as Dredge, Godzilla, and Like A Dragon. The In The Jungle expansion launches in early 2026 and introduces a freshwater lake biome featuring alligators, piranhas, large catfish, and tigerfish. The expansion adds jungle wildlife and insect encounters, including butterflies and monkeys, and emphasizes creating a different gameplay experience while preserving core management and exploration systems. The development approach draws on lessons from the main campaign and previous DLCs to craft a distinct offering.
