"Issy, I love the PC Gaming Show, but I get so excited about all the games that I want to play them right now! I don't want to wait months for them to come out." I hear you, dear reader. I hear you. I have the same problem, and I see the games even before you do. As a show of good faith, we bring you a new live-action trailer for Dave the Diver's In the Jungle DLC, which launches in just 11 days. Don't say we never treat you.
I'm a big fan of mixed media. I adored Immortality, and I've even got a soft spot for those cut scenes in the older Need For Speed games. So, it'll be no surprise to anyone that I love this new trailer for the In the Jungle DLC, launching June 18.
It's got the signature humour of Dave the Diver, and in it, we see Dave and the gang beating the hell out of a giant crocodile (alligator? I never could tell the difference) that's been terrorizing a tropical village nestled deep in the jungle. For some reason, the wildlife in the area has been going berserk.
But enough with the whimsy, you're here for games and by golly we give you games. There's a new look at what you'll actually be getting up to in the wilderness. Firstly, the new Utara Lake, with mangrove trees and loads of tropical fish. There are also areas with sunken ruins and nasty monsters to best. One has bigger jaws than that crocogator, and another is a viscous-looking fish that does a devastating spin attack. You don't want to get caught by that.
We also see more of the activities we'll be doing on land. There's photography, and a little green critter that looks a lot like Om Nom from Cut the Rope (remember the good old days when mobile games could be bought with a one-off payment?), a drumming rhythm game, and you'll also have to flee from a massive boar. There's even some time management and relationship building à la Stardew Valley.
You can wishlist the In the Jungle DLC on Steam, and if you've not played the base game, you should really give it a go—we gave it 91/100 in our review.
Check out everything revealed at the PC Gaming Show.
