Developer and publisher Mintrocket has peeled back the curtain a little more on its upcoming DLC expansion for its hit debut game, Dave the Diver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a new dev diary, the team reveals some new details about In the Jungle, which is due for release in early 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In the video, it’s said the DLC contains approximately 10 hours of new stuff to see and do, making it a pretty substantial add-on to the main game.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, it takes us to a new location \u2014 the jungle village of Utara. Here, time moves in real-time, and that gives you lots of space to explore the village, gather resources, and get to know the villagers. It all seems very Animal Crossing<\/a> to us.<\/p>\n

You’ll need to build relationships with the people of Utara, and as they become friendly with Dave, they’ll start to show up at Bancho’s Grill, the restaurant in the DLC.<\/p>\n

When you’re working at Bancho’s Grill, you’re able to move more freely than the single horizontal plane in the base game. It introduces new mini-games too, as we see in the video.<\/p>\n

You’ll serve freshwater creatures in the new restaurant, which means regular dives into a massive lake. It contains lots of new species to discover along with new threats like crocodiles and piranhas.<\/p>\n

Dave is equipped with a new Jungle Gun, which is able to transform between most of the gun types from the main game, giving you more utility in the water.<\/p>\n

It looks like it’s gonna be a great extra chapter for Dave the Diver, with a similarly crazy level of diverse gameplay mechanics and fun minigames.<\/p>\n

There’s no concrete date as yet, but “early 2026” suggests the wait won’t be a long one.<\/p>\n
