Dave the Diver is wrapping up its DLC plans with an aquatically appropriate Subnautica 2 collab

Dave the Diver, a diving simulator game, is finalizing plans for a Subnautica 2 collaboration. This partnership makes perfect sense, as both games share an underwater theme. The collaboration teaser reveals that Dave can traverse a portal to Subnautica 2's ocean moon, encountering its alien marine life and the menacing Leviathan.
Dave the Diver's creator, Mintrocket, explained that their distinct underwater exploration styles make this collaboration unique. Subnautica 2's creative director, Anthony Gallegos, expressed excitement about the collaboration, calling it a "love letter" to both franchises. While details are limited, the teaser implies Dave will explore Subnautica 2's ocean moon, including its Leviathan.
Mintrocket's Jaeho Hwang and Subnautica 2's Anthony Gallegos praised the collaboration, stating it expands the Dave the Diver experience. Although no official word has been given on Dave's return to Subnautica 2, the fact that Subnautica 2 is still in early access suggests this collaboration is likely. The Subnautica 2 update from August added proximity chat, and a new dev vlog series is scheduled to start, potentially unveiling details about the game's 2.0 early access update.
