Dave the Diver was one of 2023's best titles, blending unique visuals with some rather addictive gameplay mechanics. And if collaborations and crossovers with the likes of Godzilla and Balatro weren't enough content, then its creator wants to greatly expand the world.
In an interview with Video Games Chronicle, series creator Jaeho Hwang revealed that he has massive plans for the future of the budding franchise. Those plans effectively involve creating a DCU, or Dave Cinematic Universe. “So as a director, besides the story DLC that we’re working on right now, I also want to make separate games about each character to show how they met, what they did before coming to the Blue Hole," Hwang said.
Those separate games will seemingly be different genres, according to Hwang, with the titular Dave eventually getting his own themed game. “I really want to show how he grew up, and how he became a diver, and how he ended up coming to the Blue Hole,” he said.
It's a bold vision, for sure, but given how successful the base IP was and still is, they could definitely pull it off. That said, the DCU isn't the only universe that's being plotted....
