Bancho the Chef Is a Prequel to Dave the Diver

Mintrocket is revisiting the beloved world of Dave the Diver with an exciting new spin-off. This prequel shifts the spotlight onto one of the original game’s most iconic figures: the stoic and masterful sushi chef, Bancho.

Titled Bancho the Chef, the narrative serves as an origin story, exploring the protagonist’s life long before his partnership with Dave. Players will follow a younger, ambitious Bancho as he embarks on a culinary odyssey across Asia, seeking mentorship from legendary chefs to hone his craft and achieve true mastery in the kitchen.

While the initial trailer keeps specific mechanics under wraps, it hints at an engaging blend of culinary-themed mini-games centered on professional development. Visually, the game departs from the pixel-art aesthetic seen in Dave the Diver, opting for a crisp, refined look that still honors the vibrant, signature color palette of the series.

Bancho the Chef is currently confirmed for PlayStation 5 and PC, with further platform availability expected to be announced in the future.
