Hello Miners,
The eggs are back. There are dozens of them. Hundreds, even.

At a time when the world is more focused on eggs than ever before, we thought it would be apt to bring back the ultimate in egg-centric celebrations: The Great Egg Hunt.
That’s right, eggheads. The Great Egg Hunt is coming back to Deep Rock Galactic on Thursday, April 10th, and it’s bringing a veritable eggload of goodies and professional development opportunities along with it.

It’s time to count our eggs before they hatch. Here’s a preview of what’s coming – and if you’re interested, there’s some Rogue Core news down at the bottom.

A new hat for your health and pleasure
You can’t spell The Great Egg Hunt without “hats!”

Well you can, but it wouldn’t make a very good segue to talk about hats. Speaking of hats, we’v... Read more

Hello Miners,
Just coming with a quick bulletin from Ghost Ship Publishing: SpellRogue, one of our publishing titles (developed by Guidelight Games), will be leaving Early Access and launching into 1.0 on April 24th.

If you haven’t heard of SpellRogue, it’s a dice-based roguelike deckbuilder game where you roll dice (and manipulate and enchant them) to power up spells in turn-based combat. Think Dicey Dungeons meets Slay the Spire.


You can wishlist it (or buy it while it’s still in Early Access) right here:

Hello Miners,
It’s nearly time to celebrate another year in orbit!

Deep Rock Galactic turns seven years old this month. It’s been a heck of a ride so far – we couldn’t be more proud of the millions of tons of minerals extracted from Hoxxes and the hard-working dwarves that make it happen.

To recognize your invaluable efforts, we’re throwing a party! The ‘Seven Years in Orbit’ Celebration is going live in-game next week, on Thursday, February 27th at 13:00 CET. It’ll run for two weeks, after which all mining operations are expected to resume their usual tempo.

Here’s a preview of this year’s festivities.

Hello Miners,
If you’re reading this, we’re in a brave new era of beverages. The official DRG Abyss Bar mug Kickstarter is now live and open for all!

Hello Miners,
Great news for hobby statisticians: We’ve got our annual “Year in Review” statistics ready! Sorry it’s a bit late this year, someone spilled juice on the office calculator so we had to do it all by hand.

Management is very pleased with some critical figures: Overall employee deaths have decreased this year, for example. Fall damage is still the leading killer among DRG employees, but this year recorded cases dropped to an acceptable 32 million. Nice work!

As usual, any figures relating to workplace safety violations and employee complaints have been omitted, as Management deemed these numbers to be statistically insignificant.

Please enjoy the full statistics below, and know that the Deep Rock Galactic Corporation appreciates your contributions to this record year.

Rock and Stone!

With Love,

Hello Miners,
According to the lunar calendar, a new year is nearly upon us! If you ask Management, though, you should quit worrying about what the moon is doing, and focus on your own work in the mines.

However, as tradition dictates, it’s nearly time for another Lunar Festival in Deep Rock Galactic! We’re just about ready to get the Year of the Snake off to a slithering start.

This year’s Lunar Festival goes live on Thursday, January 30th at 13:00 CET, and it’ll run until February 13th.

Let’s take a look at what’s in store:

Hello Miners,
The holidays are nearly here!

We mean that in a figurative sense, of course. Management would like to clarify that the term "holiday" should not be in any way associated with paid time off. Here at Deep Rock Galactic, we like to think of holidays as a sort of special flavor that motivates our employees to work even harder. And it's almost time for the year's coziest, most motivating holiday: Yuletide!

The Yuletide 2024 seasonal event starts on Thursday, December 19th at 13:00 CET. It'll run until January 7th 2025, which is a little longer than standard seasonal events, so you’ve got some extra time to gather up all your Yuletide goodies.

Let’s give the present a little shake and guess what’s inside.
