Help Dave in exchange for limited-time rewards like outfit pieces, furniture and more
Shanghai, China — August 12, 2026 | XD Games is excited to announce that the latest Heartopia collaboration event with Mintrocket’s acclaimed action/restaurant management game, Dave the Diver, is now officially underway.
Players can now meet up with the titular deep-sea diver and restaurateur and assist him in exchange for in-game rewards, all of which can be obtained for free, no premium currency required.
Watch the Heartopia x Dave the Diver collab trailer below:
After being lured into Whalefall Canyon by a beautiful mandarin fish, Dave has washed up in Heartopia, and he’s in trouble. His oxygen tank has malfunctioned, scattering his diving valve components across the seafloor, and he needs the players to recover them so his undersea adventure can continue.
This new collaboration runs until 7 September. During that time, players can collect Diving Valves while exploring the ocean map. They also have a chance at earning extra Diving Valves during ocean cleanup activities, or while gathering ocean collectibles.
Those Diving Valves can then be redeemed at the dedicated Event Shop for a range of crossover rewards, including Dave’s signature blue and yellow wetsuit and oxygen tank backpack, plus additional crossover-themed clothing and accessories, furniture items, and recipes that bring some of Bancho Sushi’s signature dishes to Heartopia.
All rewards can be earned via ocean gameplay and the Event Shop will remain open until 10 September to give players a chance to redeem their Diving Valves after the crossover event comes to an end.

The Heartopia × Dave the Diver collaboration event began on Saturday 8 August and runs until Monday 7 September. Heartopia is available to play for free now on PC, iOS, and Android. Dave the Diver is available on PC, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
