Dave the Diver Gets Free Godzilla DLC, New Patch Notes

Dave the Diver can get free Godzilla DLC for a limited time.

Dave the Diver quickly became one of the hit indies of 2023 when it launched last year. While the developers at Mintrocket have been sharing details about their next projects, they aren't ready to leave Dave behind completely. In fact, the team has recently released a brand-new Godzilla DLC that players can download for free. However, it'll only be available for a limited time because Mintrocket's taking the Dave the Diver DLC away on November 23rd. You'll still be able to play the DLC if you've downloaded it after that date, but you'll want to pick it up quickly before it goes away.

The Godzilla DLC includes three new missions to tackle once you wrap up Chapter 5. There are also new dishes to explore and Godzilla figures to collect. However, it's important to note that the update also comes with several new changes to the base game. For example, you'll now be able to use more keybinds on your mouse if you have one that supports the feature and the team has altered the icon design for staff in the Sushi Restaurant to make it easier to tell what they're doing at a glance.

Below, you'll find the full patch notes for the Godzilla update. Dave the Diver is available now on PlayStation, Switch, and PC platforms.
