Dave the Diver Sets Sail for a Full Release in June 2023, Bringing New Chapters and Bosses

MINTROCKET, the South Korean development studio behind the charming and addictive underwater adventure game, Dave the Diver, has announced that the full version of the game will release in June 2023 on PC. Initially launched in Early Access in October 2022, the game has earned an "Overwhelmingly Positive" score from the Steam community with over 8,300 reviews submitted. The announcement was made during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase.

The full release of Dave the Diver will feature the remaining chapters (4-7), additional maps with more areas to explore, and new bosses to take on as players unravel the mysteries of the Blue Hole. The game also offers English, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese localizations, and full controller support for those who prefer the classic gamepad experience, as well as Mac iOS support.

Dave the Diver is a hybrid marine adventure that combines action-adventure, RPG, and management tycoon gameplay. Players dive into the mysterious Blue Hole to catch fish by day and serve fresh sushi to patrons in a seaside restaurant by night. As they traverse the ocean, players must catch the fish needed to supply the restaurant, while fending off any threats they encounter. They can then serve patrons from near and far to earn money to improve their diving gear, allowing them to dive deeper and for extended periods of time to capture more exotic fish. Dave the Diver makes for an addictive gameplay loop on top of an intriguing mystery that unfolds as players explore the darkest corners of the Blue Hole.

The game features over 200 kinds of sea creatures, giving players a vibrant and sometimes dangerous underwater biome to explore. They can catch fish and various creatures living in the Blue Hole using their trusty harpoon, and can upgrade and forge new equipment to prepare for the dangers that lurk in the unknown. Players can use what they've gathered to run their very own sushi restaurant, and the proceeds they make there can be used to purchase more equipment to explore new areas.

Dave the Diver also features an engaging story that introduces players to Dave and his eccentric friends, as they work to help Dr. Bacon rediscover an ancient underwater secret. The game's addictive gameplay, intriguing mystery, and beautiful underwater world make it a must-play for fans of adventure games.
