Arc System Works will release a physical edition of DAVE THE DIVER dubbed DAVE THE DIVER Anniversary Edition for Switch on May 30 worldwide for $39.99, the company announced. Pre-orders are available now at retailers.

Here is an overview of the Anniversary Edition, via Arc System Works:

As players dive even deeper into this aquatic world, they may recognize a familiar look as the evening sushi bar welcomes customers cosplaying as fan-favorite Guilty Gear: Strive characters. This unique offering, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, lets players engage in a Guilty Gear: Strive-themed boat skin and “The Disaster Of Passion” rhythm game. Additionally, players can enjoy a digital art book that showcases DAVE THE DIVER‘s memorable, pixelated characters and locations. These exclusive features are only available in the physical package.

Since debuting last year, DAVE THE DIVER has been praised for its unique hybrid underwater gameplay, earning a Metacritic score of 90 and selling over three million copies globally. The 2023 Steam Award-winning game takes players deeper into the mysterious Blue Hole ocean, home to over 200 species of fish, perfect for hunting and, by night, serving up fresh sushi at a seaside sushi bar. Players can generate income by serving customers sushi to use to upgrade diving gear. DAVE THE DIVER submerges players into its charming story and addictive gameplay, expanding through exploring of the mysterious Blue Hole.

DAVE THE DIVER is available now digitally for Switch and PC via Steam, and is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in April. Arc System Works did not announce plans to release DAVE THE DIVER Anniversary Edition for PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4, nor plans to release the Guilty Gear: Strive-themed content outside of the Anniversary Edition.
