Dave the Diver is coming to PlayStation with a special guest

Beloved not-quite-indie hit Dave the Diver showed up at today's State of Play showcase to reveal that it's coming to PlayStation, and the biggest guest star of all is coming, too: Godzilla.

The PlayStation version of Dave the Diver is set to launch in April, and the Godzilla crossover will follow in May. It's unclear what the scope of this expansion will be, but the trailer featured a full-on Godzilla rising out of the game's familiar waters. I'm pretty sure I also saw Ebirah rising out of the bay to face Godzilla at the end of the preview, but Ebirah is just a giant lobster, so that might just be a normal Dave the Diver monster.

This new Godzilla crossover will be free, as confirmed on the PlayStation Blog, which is just how Dave the Diver's Dredge crossover rolled out. The Dredge DLC was fairly limited in scope, but it did add a host of new fish types, new menu items, and a new weapon for late-game players. I'd expect the Godzilla DLC to be roughly similar in size, but we'll know for sure when it launches in May.

Check out all the announcements from PlayStation State of Play.
