Dave the Diver’s Godzilla DLC
WHERE TO PLAY
Dave the Diver’s Godzilla expansion adds the iconic monster to the game. Godzilla is back to finish a battle with rival monster Ebirah, and poor Dave is caught in the middle of it.
In typical Godzilla fashion, Dave the Diver’s DLC not only adds one kaiju to the previously somewhat relaxing diving roguelite-sushi restaurant sim, it adds two. The best Godzilla stories are the ones in which the massive lizard has a monster of similar size to go to war with, and in Dave the Diver, that opponent is Ebirah. A lobster kaiju that has popped up in previous Godzilla stories, in Dave the Diver, the two have battled before, and it seems Godzilla has returned for more.
If you’ve not played Dave the Diver at all yet but the arrival of its Godzilla DLC has piqued your interest, not only is it a relatively cheap game, but there are ways you’re able to get it for less right now, or even for free. The game is still a part of the PS Plus Extra library with no word on if or when it will be removed. If you want to play on PC you can get it for 25 percent off, and even at full price on Switch it’s still only $19.99.
