Snackgirls editor note
Red: “This time, it fits better as an expansion that goes all-in on a new area.”
AIKO: “The price is set at $9.99, and with up to 10 hours of content, it gives returning players a clear reason to jump back in.”
Dave the Diver’s new expansion In the Jungle has officially launched on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Xbox on PC. The Xbox Store lists it at $9.99, and it also supports Xbox Play Anywhere.
The key point today is not just a simple batch of new missions, but the opening of a new jungle loop with up to 10 hours of content. With new wildlife, new ingredients, new dishes, and even changes to Bancho Grill operations, the reason to return is pretty clear.
What changes in this expansion
According to the official Xbox Wire description, this expansion takes a much bolder turn than the base game. Dave and his companions head into the jungle, where they encounter new characters, new wildlife, and new ingredients, while the restaurant management side also gains a new feel.
Another important point is accessibility. By default, it is unlocked after the main story, but the official post says players can start the expansion directly if they want. That makes it easier not only for players returning right after the ending, but also for those who had taken a break.
Why it is worth checking now
Dave the Diver has had collaboration DLC before, but In the Jungle is different in character. The official description calls it “not merely a DLC, but rather a full-fledged expansion”, and the amount of content and structural changes are substantial. So this one can fairly be framed not as a simple return update, but as a full expansion worth putting time into again.
The price is also already set at $9.99. A fixed local Korean won price was not separately visible within this check, but the official store’s dollar price was directly confirmed.
What to check right away after reading this
First, decide whether you have finished the main game or want to jump straight into the expansion. If both collecting jungle wildlife and changes to restaurant management sound appealing, this expansion should be a good fit.
In short, In the Jungle feels less like briefly reopening Dave the Diver and more like starting a new chapter after the main game. If you were looking for the right time to return, this week is a good moment to put it near the top of your checklist.
