After being a surprise reveal during June 2nd’s PlayStation State of Play, Dave the Diver prequel, Bancho: The Chef received the deep dive treatment during the Mintrocket Dev Dive showcase.
“Bancho The Chef is a standalone prequel to Dave the Diver that focuses solely on the enigmatic chef, Bancho. The story takes place 19 years before Dave the Diver, back when Bancho was still learning the culinary arts (and still had hair!). Players will journey with Bancho as he travels through various cities across Asia, studying the art of seafood cuisine from a wide range of masters.
More specifically, in each city, Bancho will work under a local chef in their own restaurant, learning new dishes and preparing delicious meals for customers. But to do that, Bancho will also adventure and explore, studying and gathering various ingredients. Once Bancho has mastered a particular style, he will participate in a local challenge before moving on to a new region to repeat the process, gaining invaluable experience and skills with each lesson.”
Bancho: The Chef is coming to PC and PlayStation 5, and will make good use of the latter’s DualSense controller.
