MintRocket's Dave the Diver adds Subnautica 2 content pack, free H1 2027
Key takeaways
- DLC name: Subnautica 2 Content Pack
- Free update scheduled for first half of 2027
- Adds Proteus ocean moon, new creatures, exotic recipes
- Includes leviathan-class encounter and new companions
MintRocket announced a new downloadable content pack for Dave the Diver called the Subnautica 2 Content Pack, due as a free update in the first half of 2027. The studio said the DLC was developed in cooperation with Unknown Worlds, the creative studio behind Subnautica 2, and will bring Subnautica 2–themed material into Dave's hybrid ocean adventure.
Players will take Dave and Bancho through a dimensional jump to an unfamiliar ocean moon named Proteus, where they'll catalogue previously unseen marine life and unlock exotic recipes. The announcement specifically names new companions as part of the experience, and flags encounters with Subnautica 2's signature leviathan-class creature as a core highlight. MintRocket CEO Hwang Jae-ho said they prepared the collaboration because many players requested Subnautica 2, and that the team wanted to give the game's final DLC a special meaning.
Unknown Worlds' Subnautica 2 creative director Anthony Gallegos is quoted as enthusiastic about the partnership and expects the DLC to offer a special experience for fans of both games. The source does not list a precise release day beyond the first half of 2027, nor does it state platforms or technical details for the update.
Why it matters
Takeaway: free in 1H 2027 and built with Unknown Worlds, the Subnautica 2 Content Pack adds a distinct new locale (Proteus), new creatures and companions, and at least one leviathan encounter to Dave the Diver — a concrete gameplay expansion players can look forward to when the update arrives.
