Those Dave The Diver trophies are about to be even more exciting to earn when you learn about the next line of DLC the game will be adding. If you love both Dave The Diver and Balatro, then your world is going to be complete as the pair will be crossing paths later this year. With Dave The Diver already making it onto our list of the best PS Plus games around, I feel like this collab can only help cement its place there.

Dave The Diver and Balatro are coming together with an exciting DLC

Whoever thought of combining this fishing and sushi restaurant management game with the demonic card game Balatro, is an absolute genius. How can you not be excited to play one of the best games on PS Plus that will soon contain one of the best PS5 indie games to release in years? It's just a winning combo.
To play Balatro in Dave The Diver, it looks like you will need to speak with a young woman named Ramo, a woman whose appearance is shockingly similar to the Joker card stamped all over the cover art for Balatro. Coincidence? Of course not. The Balatro DLC will join Dave The Diver in October 2024, though an exact release date is not yet known.

However, it's not just Balatro that will come to Dave The Diver in October 2024. Players will also be able to get to know Mxmtoon, a singer and YouTuber who is going to bring their sweet vocal skills and ukulele-playing abilities to the game. It's going to be a nice break from all the fishing and restaurant management you have to deal with.

That's not all though, as the indie hit Potion Craft will also be sliding into Dave The Diver. Players will meet an eccentric old man who sells them special items that were a staple in Potion Craft, you can use these items to make some out-of-this-world dishes in your snazzy sushi restaurant. The customers are going to love them!
I've heard Staff Writer Lee gush about Balatro ever since he started playing it many moons ago. It definitely piqued my interest, but now that the game is coming to Dave The Diver, I may just have to check it out. I've been meaning to play Dave The Diver for so long, ever since it took PS Plus by absolute storm. It seems that I may have to do this ahead of the new DLC dropping so I can understand how to play!

What do you think about this announcement? Will you be checking it out when it releases? Who knows maybe this DLC will end up on our list of the best PlayStation DLC? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
