Fans can look forward to the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC for Dave The Diver, set for release on April 10, 2025. This marks the game’s first paid downloadable content. While the price for this expansion has not been announced yet, it will be accessible on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for Windows and Mac. Additionally, a demo is available for the Nintendo Switch version, allowing potential players to experience the game before making a purchase.
Limited Availability of Ichiban’s Holiday
Unfortunately, the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC will only be available for purchase for a limited time—specifically six months. It will be removed from sale in October 2025. Players who purchase it within this timeframe will retain access indefinitely, but this short availability period raises concerns about game preservation in the industry.
What to Expect in Ichiban’s Holiday
The developers have released a video providing an overview of what players can expect from the DLC. Within the content, Ichiban will join forces with characters from the Like A Dragon series at the Bancho Sushi restaurant. Players can look forward to a new karaoke minigame and the chance to hire familiar side characters to assist in restaurant operations. Additionally, there will be a classic-style beat-em-up segment, where Ichiban and Cobra confront dolphin poachers, although this stage lacks cooperative gameplay.
Preparing for the DLC
If you are planning to experience Dave The Diver, it may be wise to consider purchasing the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC when it becomes available, especially given its limited timeframe. With the unique crossover opportunities it presents, this DLC is poised to enhance the gameplay experience significantly.
