Mintrocket has announced a delay for the highly anticipated In the Jungle DLC for Dave the Diver, which will now release in early 2026 instead of the previously planned late 2025. Despite this setback, the company has shared positive news regarding the game’s DLC offerings. Dave the Diver debuted to widespread acclaim on PC in June 2023 and subsequently launched on the Switch and PlayStation 5 in October 2023 and April 2024, respectively.
Since its release, the game has introduced several DLC packs, including the limited-time Godzilla Content Pack, which was originally launched in May 2024 but was removed from stores seven months later. Mintrocket initially announced that this pack would not return, creating surprise when it reappeared in late June 2025, coinciding with the game’s second anniversary. In addressing fans in a recent YouTube video, Mintrocket emphasized its ambition for the Dave the Diver franchise and noted that the re-listing of the Godzilla Content Pack would help alleviate concerns following the news of the delayed jungle DLC.
The developer clarified that the delay for In the Jungle is not due to technical difficulties but rather stems from wanting to incorporate additional ideas and content. In addition to the Godzilla Content Pack’s return, it has been confirmed that it will remain available until at least the end of 2026, thanks to a favorable licensing deal. Similarly, the Ichiban’s Holiday Content Pack from the Like a Dragon DLC has also been extended to match this timeline, ensuring both packs will be accessible for an extended period.
Overall, while the delay is unfortunate, the developer’s plans indicate exciting times ahead for fans of Dave the Diver.
