Dave is heading into the jungle, which feels slightly alarming for a man best known for diving. Still, here we are.
Mintrocket has released a brand-new live-action trailer for Dave the Diver: In the Jungle, the upcoming premium DLC for the hit adventure game. The trailer features Dave, Cobra, Bancho, and the rest of the gang as they head into a strange new land filled with eccentric new faces.
As per the press release, the trailer was produced in partnership with The Asylum, the independent film production company known for films including Sharknado and Meth Gator.
Dave the Diver: In the Jungle trailer airs during PC Gaming Show
The new Dave the Diver: In the Jungle live-action trailer aired during the PC Gaming Show, the annual digital video games broadcast watched by millions of players worldwide.
It was written and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, the filmmaker behind the Sharknado franchise. Ferrante said bringing the “fun, crazy, silly and action packed” world of Dave the Diver into live action was an amazing experience.
He also said the team hoped fans would enjoy the jungle adventure they had prepared.
Jaeho Hwang, Head of Mintrocket, explained that the studio had wanted to try creating unconventional content. Since many of the development team are fans of The Asylum’s films, the collaboration made sense.
Honestly, if Dave the Diver was ever going to go live action, getting the Sharknado crowd involved feels weirdly perfect.
In the Jungle adds a new story, mechanics, and mini-games
Dave the Diver: In the Jungle takes Dave into fresh territory with new freshwater responsibilities, unfamiliar waters, strange but lovable locals, and plenty of new flora and fauna.
The expansion is a story-based premium DLC and is set to include around 10 hours of content. It will also introduce new encounters, mechanics, and mini-games not seen in the base game or earlier DLC.
That means more diving, more odd jobs, more charming weirdness, and presumably at least one moment where Dave wonders why this keeps happening to him.
Dave the Diver: In the Jungle launches June 18
Dave the Diver: In the Jungle launches on June 18, 2026, across all available platforms.
The DLC will also be available for pre-purchase on Steam from June 11 at 10AM PT / 7PM CEST.
Dave the Diver is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Play Anywhere support, macOS, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
So, polish the harpoon, pack the snacks, and maybe check whether Bancho has jungle-appropriate sushi plans. Dave’s next big adventure is nearly here.
