Dave the Diver Lands on iOS and Android With 1,500 Yen Launch Sale
Nexon is moving a 10-million-selling PC and console title onto phones with device-specific gimmicks and an introductory price, a test of whether the restaurant-and-dive loop survives touch controls.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Nexon released the iOS and Android version of Dave the Diver on September 17, 2026, priced at 1,500 yen. A launch sale runs through September 30. The mobile edition rebuilds the UI and controls for touch, adds three zoom levels, fast travel to Sea People's village residents, and a tilt-to-pour-tea gimmick at Bancho Sushi. It supports the DREDGE collaboration and the In the Jungle DLC, sold separately.
The mobile build is not a straight port of the diving and sushi management loop. Touch input gets three levels of screen zoom, and players can jump straight to residents in the Sea People's village instead of walking there. Bancho Sushi adds motion controls: tilting the phone pours tea.
Content parity is partial by design. The DREDGE collaboration and the In the Jungle DLC, released in June 2026, are both supported, but In the Jungle is a separate purchase from the main game. Buying the full version includes the digital bundle Dave the Diver Digital Extra, which collects an art book, soundtrack, and boat skins.
