Who doesn’t love a surprise announce just before Chrimbo? I do, that’s for sure, and my professional enthusiasm about this particular content drop was actually genuinely warranted for once.
I’m enthusiastic because the recently announced crossover between Dave the Diver and Dredge is a collaboration that actually makes tons of sense given the vague similarities between their respective settings, and how easily they come together.
The Dredge Content Pack for Dave the Diver was unveiled before the world at The Game Awards, although I must confess to have been trapped in some sort of Lovecraftian dreamstate at the time!
According to press scripture that I have since studied (by candlelight, no doubt), during the event it was confirmed that the update would set sail today, on December 15. Best of all, it’s a free content pack for Dave the Diver owners on both PC and Nintendo Switch.
There’s some intel about the update below, which I’ve grabbed from the aforementioned scripture, although I must confess to have tweaked the text for readability.
Check it out, watch the trailer, and then get that update downloaded:
- A new “Fog” weather event, which introduces the Dredge content later in the game
- Drive Dave’s boat similar to Dredge gameplay, choosing different diving spots
- Catch Aberrations, unique creatures with diverse attack patterns
- New night map to explore
- New weapon, the Drain Gun (can be created using Aberrant material)
- New “Hooded Figures” to serve at Bancho Sushi using unique dishes created from Aberrant fish
