Arc System Works America announced that the physical package release of Dave the Diver Anniversary Edition is coming out on May 30 and to be available for the Nintendo Switch. Players who are interested to get a copy can now pre-order the game from selected retailers and the official site.
Indeed, it's only been a year since the game introduced players to a rather unique hybrid underwater gameplay. The game has sold more than three million copies around the world and earned a Metacritic score of 90.
For the Anniversary Edition, some players are sure to recognize a familiar look when they open the evening sushi bar. That's because customers are going to be cosplaying their favorite Guilty Gear -Strive- characters.

These are all exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version.
