Dave the Diver Unveils Limited-Time DLC Collaboration with Yakuzas Ichiban

The creators of the popular  Dave the Diver from the South Korean studio Mintrocket have announced the release of a new expansion titled Ichiban’s Holiday, which introduces fresh content and a collaboration with the Yakuza series.

Firstly, the developers have reminded players that this expansion will only be available on digital storefronts for a limited time, ending on October 9. As the title suggests, the DLC Ichiban’s Holiday will feature Ichiban Kasuga, the main character from  Yakuza: Like a Dragon and  Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, who is taking a break in the Blue Abyss.

In addition to Ichiban, players will encounter other well-known characters from the Yakuza series, including Osamu Kashiwa and the pesky grandma Etsuko. During his vacation, Ichiban comes face to face with a group of pirates, with battles presented in a classic beat ’em up style reminiscent of Streets of Rage, featuring assistance from the familiar character Cobra. Unfortunately, co-op play is not available for this mode. Furthermore, players can expect numerous bug fixes, new recipes for dishes and cocktails, as well as the beloved karaoke mini-game that fans of the Yakuza series have come to enjoy.

Dave the Diver can be played on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, and is also included with a PS Plus subscription. The text is localized in Russian as well. Meanwhile, the developers are diligently working on a more expansive DLC titled In the Jungle, scheduled for release later this year.
