Ichiban’s Holiday crossover DLC for Dave The Diver now available until 2027

 

The time limited Ichiban’s Holiday DLC for Dave the Diver, which facilitated a crossover with Like A Dragon’s Ichiban Kasuga meeting the crew at the Blue Hole in Dave the Diver, has had its timed availability extended. Originally only available from April 2025 until October 2025, it will now instead remain available for purchase on all platforms until the end of 2026. While we’d still much rather have this permanently available, It’s good to have a much larger window of opportunity to obtain the DLC to go with the game. Regardless, you will retain access to the DLC if you purchase it any time before it goes away. Ichiban’s Holiday will still set you back an extra $6.99 USD, but will occasionally go on sale, so keep it in your wishlist if you prefer to wait for a discount. (It’s already discounted on Steam, as part of the ongoing Steam Summer Sale.)

This bit of good news comes from a special video announcement for Dave the Diver’s 2nd anniversary celebration. In the video, it was stated that due to negative feedback from how quickly the DLC would be delisted, developer Mintrocket had convinced Sega and RGG Studio to allow them to keep this DLC available much longer than originally agreed upon. As an extra bit of good news, the free Godzilla DLC, which was delisted last year, is also back and available for free as before, and a sneak peek was also given at a new In The Jungle DLC expansion planned for 2026. The game and DLC are now also available on the Epic Games Store and a free Nintendo Switch 2 update is planned for the Nintendo Switch version.

You can view the video announcement right after the break below. (Turn on subtitles for RGG director Masayoshi Yokoyama’s congratulatory message to Mintrocket.)
