Mintrocket has released an official launch trailer for the "In the Jungle" DLC for the adventure RPG Dave the Diver.

The expansion marks a significant shift in environment for the title, moving the protagonist from open ocean depths into terrestrial and freshwater settings. This transition allows the developer to introduce new gameplay mechanics and exploration zones that differ from the core experience.

The DLC is scheduled to launch on June 18, 2026 [1]. The trailer, published by IGN, showcases several new locations including Utara Village, a freshwater lake, and ancient ruins [2, 3]. These areas suggest a narrative expansion that moves beyond the standard diving loop to incorporate jungle exploration.

Availability for the content is broad across multiple platforms. The DLC will be available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store [4, 5]. Additionally, players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X/S will have access to the update [4, 5].

While the primary focus of the trailer is the digital release, physical editions are also planned. Specifically, physical PlayStation 5 complete collector's editions have been confirmed for the launch [4].

Mintrocket said the expansion was designed to promote the game's longevity by adding diverse environments [3]. The inclusion of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the platform list confirms the title's presence on the next generation of Nintendo hardware [4, 5].

The 'In the Jungle' DLC represents a strategic attempt to diversify the gameplay loop of Dave the Diver. By introducing freshwater and land-based exploration, Mintrocket is expanding the game's scope beyond its original underwater premise. Furthermore, the explicit mention of the Nintendo Switch 2 indicates a coordinated launch strategy to ensure the title remains relevant across current and upcoming hardware cycles.
