Dave the Diver Gets Live-Action Short Film
Dave the Diver Gets a Live-Action Short Film from the Director of Sharknado
Dave the Diver is getting even stranger in the best way possible.
Following the arrival of its latest DLC, In the Jungle, developer MINTROCKET has released a free live-action short film to promote the new content. The project comes from The Asylum, the production company behind Sharknado, with Anthony C. Ferrante directing.
For a game already known for its unusual mix of diving, restaurant management, adventure, and comedy, a wild live-action promo feels oddly perfect.
Dave Heads Into the Jungle
The short film follows the same basic setup as the new In the Jungle DLC.
Dave decides to enter a deep jungle area in search of Utara Village. As expected, things quickly become strange, over-the-top, and intentionally chaotic, matching the style of the production team behind the film.
The source describes the short as a free release that fans can watch now, serving as part of the promotional campaign for the new DLC.
A Sharknado-Style Promotion
The involvement of The Asylum and Anthony C. Ferrante gives the short film its biggest hook.
The Asylum is known for producing outrageous genre films, while Ferrante is closely associated with Sharknado. That background makes the Dave the Diver short feel less like a standard game advertisement and more like a deliberately absurd mini-movie built to match the game’s playful tone.
Rather than taking itself too seriously, the short appears to lean into the kind of weird energy that Dave the Diver fans may enjoy.
Dave the Diver Recently Arrived on Switch
The source also notes that Dave the Diver recently became available for Nintendo Switch players, with a promotion price of 220 baht mentioned in the original article.
This timing lines up with the release of In the Jungle, giving both new and returning players more reasons to check out the game.
About Dave the Diver
Dave the Diver is an adventure RPG where players follow Dave, a diver who also runs a Japanese restaurant.
During the day, players explore the ocean, dive for fish, search for treasure, and take part in different activities under the sea. At night, the focus shifts to managing the restaurant business and serving customers.
The gameplay loop may look simple at first, but the game keeps things interesting by introducing new characters, different fish, and hidden secrets beneath the ocean.
In the Jungle Adds More Than 10 Hours of Content
The new In the Jungle DLC adds fresh mechanics and extra story content with more than 10 hours of gameplay.
Players will travel to a new jungle biome while investigating clues connected to a mysterious reported phenomenon. The new area also opens opportunities to discover ingredients and create new menu ideas for the restaurant.
However, players can only access this DLC after finishing the main game.
THIS IS our take
Dave the Diver already has one of the most unusual identities in modern indie-style gaming, so a live-action short from the Sharknado team makes perfect sense. It is funny, strange, and clearly built to match the game’s oddball personality. With In the Jungle adding more than 10 hours of new content, this is a good time for both longtime fans and curious newcomers to dive back in.
