On October 8, Mintrocket unveiled physical photos of the 'Dave the Diver' Collector's Edition on its official social media channels. Physical publisher Silver Lining Interactive handled the production of the boxed release.
Mintrocket shared its thoughts, stating, "Just having a physical release is a major milestone, but seeing the finished Collector's Edition feels particularly meaningful." The studio added, "Holding it in our hands feels a bit surreal." The company also expressed its gratitude to Silver Lining Interactive, who co-created the edition, and to the players who have supported the game throughout its journey.
Mintrocket CEO Jaeho Hwang also shared his reflections on his personal social media. Hwang said, "As someone who grew up with game cartridges and CDs, receiving this physical package in my hands at a time when everything is moving to digital feels like a dream come true." The package he received was signed by all of his team members.
The physical edition of 'Dave the Diver' will be released for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. According to Silver Lining Interactive's June announcement, the lineup consists of two versions: the Complete Edition and the Collector's Edition. The Complete Edition contains the base game alongside all previously released DLC, including the story expansion 'In the Jungle'. The Collector's Edition adds a 'Bancho Sushi' acrylic standee, four metal pin badges, an acrylic keyring, a dolphin pendant necklace, two 'Marinca' cards, a poster, and four postcards.
Details regarding local pricing and release timing will be announced at a later date.
'Dave the Diver' first debuted in Early Access on Steam in October 2022 before expanding its platforms to PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. In September, Mintrocket announced that cumulative worldwide sales surpassed 10 million copies, setting a record as the first single-player boxed game developed in Korea to achieve this milestone. 'In the Jungle', which was released in June, sold 1 million copies in about two months.
