Mintrocket announces that the final wave of downloadable content for *Dave the Diver* will launch in “early 2027,” with a free crossover expansion tying into *Subnautica 2*. Multiple outlets report that the update adds Subnautica’s ocean moon Proteus and introduces alien creatures into Dave’s gameplay loop.
The announcement comes during the Triple-i Showcase. Outlets characterize the collaboration as a particularly fitting match for the games’ shared underwater focus, noting it is framed as a wrap-up to the series of prior DLC and content additions. While one review-style perspective is skeptical of crossover DLC in general, it still describes this specific pairing as more coherent than other past crossovers. Across coverage, the consensus is that this is both the concluding DLC plan and the most thematically aligned collaboration yet, though details beyond the Proteus and creature content are not expanded upon in the reports.
