There’s only three weeks to go until Dave The Diver gets yet another round of unlikely crossover DLC, with Ichiban Kasuga of Yakuza/Like A Dragon fame joining the rotund fisherman out in the waters of the Blue Hole. First revealed last month with a broad ‘April’ release window, the latest Dev Dive vlog from very-not-indie studio Mintrocket finally reveals the precise release date for Ichiban’s latest misadventure— April 10th—along with a few revelations and some fresh gameplay footage, all of which you can see in the video below.
In the vlog, Dave’s director Jaeho Hwang reveals possibly one of the least surprising things about Dave The Diver: That the Like A Dragon/Yakuza series was one of its primary inspirations. The minigames, the hanging out with a cast of loveable oddballs, the endless pursuit of esoteric progress bars and numbers going up? Yeah, that checks out. He’s a huge fanboy, and even takes time out of the video to show all his favourite signed Like A Dragon goodies.
