MINTROCKET, the acclaimed developer behind the indie sensation Dave The Diver, has officially revealed comprehensive details about the highly-anticipated 'In the Jungle' DLC, set to debut on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2.
Unveiled through a new 'Dev Dive' developer video, this expansion arrives nearly a year after its initial announcement at The Game Awards 2024, showcasing ambitious features and significant content upgrades designed to enrich the celebrated deep-sea adventure. The 'In the Jungle' DLC significantly extends the core gameplay experience, boasting an estimated 10 additional hours of new content, according to information shared by MINTROCKET.
Players are invited to explore Utara, an immersive jungle village with its own dynamic real-time day and night cycle.
In this vibrant new location, Dave can interact with local inhabitants, explore a freshwater lake, gather vital resources, and engage in new narrative beats, offering a substantial expansion to the game's well-loved mechanics. A highlight of the expansion is the introduction of Bancho's Grill, a new restaurant within Utara that presents expanded culinary gameplay and deeper customization options for players who enjoyed the food management aspects of the base game.
Alongside these features, Dave gains access to a fresh diving location, facing new challenges and wildlife with the help of the inventive 'Jungle Gun,' a transforming weapon showcased in the latest trailer.
This addition to the arsenal is tailored to the unique hazards of the lush new habitat, promising both tension and creative problem-solving for seasoned divers. In the words of MINTROCKET, this DLC aims to "enhance the player's journey with fresh environments, expanded stories, and inventive tools," setting a benchmark for post-launch content quality.

While an exact release date has yet to be confirmed, the 'In the Jungle' DLC is anticipated to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Switch 2 consoles sometime in the next year.
