On the 8th, Mintrocket revealed physical photos of the 'Dave the Diver' Collector's Edition on its official social media channels. Physical publisher Silver Lining Interactive handled the production of the boxed release.
Mintrocket stated, "Just having a physical release is a milestone in itself, but seeing the finished Collector's Edition feels particularly meaningful," adding, "Holding it in our hands feels a bit surreal." The company also expressed its gratitude to Silver Lining Interactive, who co-created the edition, and to the players who have supported the game.
Jaeho Hwang, CEO of Mintrocket, also shared his reflections on his personal social media. CEO Hwang said, "As someone who grew up with game cartridges and CDs, receiving this physical package in my hands at a time when everything is moving to digital feels like a dream come true." The package he received bore the signatures of all team members.
The physical edition of 'Dave the Diver' will be released for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. According to Silver Lining Interactive, the lineup consists of two options: the Complete Edition and the Collector's Edition. The Complete Edition contains the base game alongside all previously released DLC, including the story expansion 'In the Jungle'. The Collector's Edition adds a 'Bancho Sushi' acrylic standee, four metal pin badges, an acrylic keyring, a dolphin pendant necklace, two 'Marinca' cards, a poster, and four postcards.
Silver Lining Interactive began pre-orders for the Collector's Edition on March 12. Pricing is set at £69.99 and €79.99. Players in Korea who wish to purchase the Collector's Edition can buy it via overseas direct purchase from Silver Lining Interactive's official online store, 'Silver Lining Direct'.
'Dave the Diver' first debuted in Early Access on Steam in October 2022 before expanding its platforms to PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. In September of this year, Mintrocket announced that cumulative global sales had surpassed 10 million copies, setting a record as the first single-player boxed game developed in South Korea to achieve this milestone. 'In the Jungle', which launched in June, sold 1 million copies in about two months.
