Yes, you still dive, catch fish, and battle bosses, but the village is a place you can freely walk around, as if Dave is visiting Stardew Valley. Instead of the days being broken up into morning, afternoon, and night segments, as in the base game, the island takes place in real-time, giving you the freedom to manage your schedule as you fish, socialize, and work at the grill. You can even explore with Dave&#8217;s friends, like Cobra, following you around.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it&#8217;s presented in a new isometric view as you explore, gather resources like local fruit or minerals, get to know the locals, and complete quests for them to gain their favor. As they warm up to you, they&#8217;ll start visiting your restaurant, so you&#8217;re not just making friends, you&#8217;re gaining patrons for the grill.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at In The Jungle in action, starting at about 2:45 in the Dev Dive video below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E5_pWDFRca0?start=164\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>New recipes and fearsome new fishy foes like piranha, electric eels, and crocodiles, means Dave&#8217;s also got a new tool, the Jungle Gun, which can fire nets or act as a shotgun or sniper rifle as needed while you&#8217;re harvesting the lake for new ingredients. And of course you can expect some new minigames: the trailer shows one where you knock coconuts out of a tree with a stick, and another Rock Band-ish one where you play a guitar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery mosaic-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3059px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"YjkCWWcLpqDrhxaZMRAd9C\" name=\"dd3\" alt=\"Dave the Diver and villagers looking at dead sea monster\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dave-the-divers-next-dlc-really-changes-things-up-you-can-freely-explore-the-new-village-in-real-time-complete-quests-to-win-over-locals-and-your-restaurant-doesnt-serve-sushi-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3059\" height=\"1720\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Mintrocket)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2483px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.22%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yjoVVpC4Bw7HchFLkN2uyB\" name=\"dd4\" alt=\"Dave the Diver fighting a crocodile\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dave-the-divers-next-dlc-really-changes-things-up-you-can-freely-explore-the-new-village-in-real-time-complete-quests-to-win-over-locals-and-your-restaurant-doesnt-serve-sushi-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2483\" height=\"1396\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Mintrocket)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2483px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.22%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yjoVVpC4Bw7HchFLkN2uyB\" name=\"dd4\" alt=\"Dave the Diver fighting a crocodile\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/dave-the-divers-next-dlc-really-changes-things-up-you-can-freely-explore-the-new-village-in-real-time-complete-quests-to-win-over-locals-and-your-restaurant-doesnt-serve-sushi-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2483\" height=\"1396\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Mintrocket)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The restaurant, too, is a change of pace from the base game, because instead of just moving horizontally back and forth across the bar to serve dishes, you can walk in all directions to deliver meals and drinks to tables.<\/p>\n<p>This all looks pretty great, and with this new system where you can freely explore, manage your activities in real time, and get to know the villagers, it almost makes me wish the base game had been built like this all along!
