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.)
How fitting for two games that are known for themes of betrayal, murder, and general “sussy-ness” to come together like this?
The ever so popular indie game darling Among Us has just introduced all-new cosmetic items based on all your favorite Like A Dragon characters. In the new Kamuroucho Cosmicube, now available for purchase for 110 Stars in all versions of the game, you’ll find many costumes from the above image based on everyone’s favorite Like A Dragon cast: Kazuma Kiryu, Ichiban Kasuga, Taiga Saijima, Shun Akiyama, Tianyou Zhao, and Goro Majima, who seems to get the most costumes out of everyone. He is the star of the latest Like A Dragon game, after all.
If you’re interested, the Kamuroucho Cosmicube is available for purchase now until June 23rd, 2025, so don’t put it off for too long. Now if you’ll join us past the break, you can see a list of all the specific items in this event. You’ll also see a special performance of a very famous song any Like A Dragon fan would know all too well.
The wait is almost over to see the Hero of Yokohama Ichiban Kasuga join forces with Dave The Diver. The Ichiban’s Holiday DLC expansion for Dave The Diver will become available on April 10th, 2025 and will be the first paid DLC released for the game. The price has not yet been revealed as of this writing, but it will be available on all platforms that Dave The Diver is currently on, which is PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5,Nintendo Switch, and Steam (For Windows and Mac). A demo is also available for the Nintendo Switch version, if you’d like to try Dave The Diver before buying.
Now for the bad news. Ichiban’s Holiday, like other crossover DLC the game has seen besides the Dredge Content Pack, will only be available to purchase for just six months. It will be delisted in October 2025. Anyone who buys it before then will be able to play with it as long as they want, but it is sad that it doesn’t even get to stick around for a whole year. And they say video games aren’t facing a preservation crisis.
The developers of Dave The Diver have also provided a video showing a more in-depth look at what you can expect to see in Ichiban’s Holiday. You can scope that out past the break.
Revealed in PlayStation’s State of Play presentation yesterday, February 12th, 2025, a new DLC crossover with the Like A Dragon series, Ichiban’s Holiday, is coming this April to the hit game Dave the Diver. After having already enjoyed crossovers with franchises like Godzilla and Guilty Gear, the Hero of Yokohama, Ichiban Kasuga, alongside the bartender of the Survive Bar, will be joining Dave The Diver in a new action-packed story expansion on all platforms that Dave The Diver is available on. This will include some new mini-games and a new beat-em-up style side game that’s sure to excite Dave the Diver fans.
For more info about this new expansive, dive in through the break.
SEGA has announced that virtual singer idol, Hatsune Miku, and the King of the Monsters, Godzilla, will be the next set of playable DLC characters for Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. Players can smash the competition as Godzilla, with banana pickups replaced by trains, or groove through various stages as Miku, collecting musical notes instead of bananas. Along with the character DLC, a free 2.00 update will be available to enhance players’ experiences with Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. The new features in free 2.00 update will include:
NIJSANJI Outfit Set – For Virtual YouTuber fans, the outfit set will include a NIJISANJI UKIUKI Cup logo t-shirt, monkey ball with the NIJISANJI UKIUKI Cup logo emblazoned on it, and costume inspired by Saegusa Akina from NIJISANJI.
Super Punchy Brawl – A new multiplayer game that will be added to Battle Mode as part of the 2.00 update. Here, players can send their opponents flying by knocking them off the map with a big boxing glove! Players can use panels scattered around the stage to buff their boxing gloves up to two times to make punches even stronger, increasing the amount of damage caused. They can also store damage from an opponent’s punch up to two times – the more damage stored, the easier it is to knock opponents away. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins! Furthermore, a new stage has been added to the existing Banana Hunt game.
Time Attack will now include a new Banana Bonus option where the players can collect bananas to reduce their overall time.
The No Miss Challenge tests players to see how far they can survive in Adventure Mode with only one life.
Super Speed makes players’ balls roll even faster. Don’t fall off the Stage!
Step into the world of your character with Monkey See, where players can see the world from inside their ball!
The bravest monkeys can show their skills with even more difficult courses in Ultimate EX stages.
Quick retry feature has also been added that allows players to immediately restart a stage without pausing the game. Plus, when you’re playing Adventure Mode with friends, you won’t have to disband your room anymore when going between Worlds.
