Subnautica 2 fans can finally hunt and kill those pesky Nibbler Mangos—in Dave the Diver's crossover DLC
I will kill them. I will cook them. I will serve them. Thanks, Dave.
Fans of Subnautica 2 can now hunt and kill the game's notoriously bothersome Nibbler Mangos through a new crossover DLC with Dave the Diver. The exciting news was announced at the Triple-I Initiative showcase. This exciting collaboration, set to release early 2027, will transport Dave into the alien depths of Subnautica 2's aquatic world, where he can mine resources, hunt fish, and perhaps even craft new sushi recipes for Bancho.
The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of the formidable boss lurking at the end. What drew particular attention, however, were those pesky Nibbler Mangos, which pose a constant threat upon entering Subnautica 2. For some time, the inability to combat these relentless creatures has been a point of contention, leading some players to resort to mods to even the odds.
It's a welcome change that players will now have a chance to exact some revenge on these troublesome fish, albeit in a different game. Unknown Worlds Entertainment expressed excitement about bringing the beloved Subnautica 2 creatures to Dave the Diver's world. The developers had a blast integrating these creatures into the Dave the Diver game and assure players that the DLC will maintain the familiar gameplay experience.
Although many fans may be disappointed to learn this will be Dave the Diver's final DLC, there's a possibility of smaller updates or collaborations based on player feedback and internal plans. As for Bancho the Chef, he's set to star in his own prequel game, though no release date has been confirmed just yet.
