Dave the Diver Mobile Port and Jungle DLC Set for 2026

Mintrocket, the developer behind the acclaimed adventure RPG Dave the Diver, has announced plans to bring the game to mobile devices in 2026, alongside fresh details on its upcoming expansion, In the Jungle. The mobile version, created in partnership with Chinese studio XD, will launch first in China before rolling out globally on Android and iOS, featuring a complete redesign of the user interface and controls tailored for touchscreens.

At its core, Dave the Diver follows the titular character as he explores the mysterious Blue Hole by day, using harpoons and weapons to catch over 200 species of sea creatures while managing oxygen levels to avoid disaster. Nights shift to running a sushi restaurant with the help of the character Bancho, incorporating roguelike progression, side quests, minigames, and a cast of eccentric personalities. The game's pixelated 3D visuals and humorous storytelling have earned it widespread praise since its initial release, with the title now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch, including a recent Xbox debut.
