In a thrilling announcement at The Game Awards, two standout indie games of 2023, "Dave the Diver" and "Dredge," revealed an upcoming crossover event. Set to launch on December 15, this collaboration will integrate elements from both games, offering a unique experience for fans.
"Dave the Diver" is set to receive a significant free update that incorporates the eerie atmosphere and creatures of "Dredge." The update will introduce a new "fog" weather event featuring Dredge content, allowing players to navigate Dave's boat in a manner similar to "Dredge." A new night map and the ability to catch aberrations add to the crossover's depth. Players can also expect a new weapon and the introduction of "Hooded Figures," mysterious characters interested in dishes prepared with the newly added fish.
To celebrate the crossover, both "Dave the Diver" and "Dredge" will be available at a discounted price on Steam as part of the "Dredging & Diving Bundle," also launching on December 15. This bundle presents an opportune moment for new players to dive into these acclaimed titles.
"Dave the Diver" has been lauded for its engaging gameplay, receiving a 9/10 rating from IGN, which praised its complexity and addictiveness. "Dredge" earned an 8/10 for its unique blend of Lovecraftian horror with fishing and sailing mechanics, creating an immersive boating simulation that is both unsettling and relaxing.
This crossover event is a testament to the creativity and collaboration within the indie gaming community, bringing together two beloved games in an unprecedented way. Fans of "Dave the Diver" and "Dredge" can look forward to exploring this new, intertwined world starting December 15.
