Here we go, Miners!

On February 26 we will celebrate our three-year anniversary since launching into Early Access. A lot of things have happened since then, and we feel it’s about time we gave you all an in-depth status report on how the Ghost Ship is sailing - so we’ll do exactly that during our Anniversary Event, Friday, February 26th, where we will reveal our updated roadmap and treat you to much more.



Leading up to the anniversary event we’re having a free-form Act Like A Dwarf competition[gl... Read more

Greetings, Miners!
You’ve all been twiddling your beards in anticipation of this, so here it is. Update 33 will release onto Steam on February 4th. Titled NEW FRONTIERS, Update 33 will grant access to two brand new biomes - the mysterious wonders of the AZURE WEALD, and the thorn-infested hell of HOLLOW BOUGH. Update 33 also includes all-new Mactera variations and several new strains of horrible Glyphid Dreadnought mutations.

Should the new biomes, the Dreadnought Hiveguard, and the monster twins: Dreadnought Arbalest and Lacerator, not satisfy your thirst, we also have the Mactera Trijaw and the Mactera Brundle standing by to harass your endeavors, together with tweaks and changes to current mission types, such as being able to retrieve Doretta's control unit in Escort missions plus downloading the location M.U.L.E legs, an...

It’s time to vote, Miners!
When we released Deep Rock Galactic into 1.0 earlier this year, it was after numerous big updates. If you have enjoyed what we've done do far, and feel that Deep Rock Galactic is worthy of the acclaim, we'd be honored if you would consider nominating it in the category Better With Friends.



You can only nominate Deep Rock Galactic in a single category, so if it's not your Better With Friends pick, we would be grateful if you considered it in other categories, such as Game Of The Year, Best Soundtrack, or Labor of Love.

Nomination Reward In proper DRG fashion, we’re throwing another in-game helmet into the foray to get the hype going! If we get nominated in any of the categories, you'll all get the lovely BOLTED MARAUDER... Read more

Hello Miners,

One of the community’s most requested things has been soft, cuddly, and tangible versions of the loot bugs native to Hoxxes IV. Well, we heard your request, and together with our merch partner For Fans By Fans, we’re finally able to reveal the loot bug plushie, together with a set of beer steins for the dwarves that like to hydrate regularly, and a hoodie for those cold nights on Space Rig 17.

The loot bug plushie is available for preorder right now and comes with a preorder bonus of two gold nuggets to fill the space next to the nitra in that greedy little belly. The cuddly wuddly, wittle bwug is an original fan submission for our Fan Forge competition by laryoung816

Use the code SANTADWARF for 20% off (Valid until Nov 26th. Does not apply to the preorders, such as the loot bug, but the beer steins and the hoodie and the rest of the merch are eligible for this discount). Note that due to production times, the loot bug will not be able to arrive... Read more

Greetings, Miners!
We’re back from the summer holiday, which most of us spend within the Danish borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Denmark seems to have flattened the curve and is more or less back in business with a few modifications. Luckily, we have been able to adapt to a work-from-home model that’s been working, and we’ve adapted some of that into our normal work routines, ensuring that everyone will stay safe and healthy.

The work on Update 32 is progressing at a good pace, and while we’re not yet at a point where we can share details on the new missions, our prototypes are showing a lot of potential, and we’re confident that we’ll have some inside info for you within the reasonable future. Next to that we're also doing a lot of concepts for the new biomes in Update 33, some of which you can see below.

Hello Miners! It’s time for another update as we’re ramping up for full release! The main focus for this update has been on improving the first experience new Greenbeards will encounter, but we also have a lot of goodies for veteran players, such as Armors finally being able to get new Paintjobs, and an all-new Miner’s Manual to name a few!

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

Let’s get to work!

The company is worried about some strange mutations affecting the creatures of Hoxxes as well as peculiar crystals interfering with scanners and other devices in orbit. To eradicate the threat or simply to take samples, these operations require expert dwarven action to be finalized. If you stumble upon on... Read more

Ghoulish greetings, Miners,

Attention Miners! As we’re getting very close to the launch of update 25, we want to recruit new Greenbeards to work the mines below the surface of Hoxxes IV. We’ve already passed the mark of recruiting 750.000 brave dwarven brethren, so to celebrate this we’re having a free weekend as a recruitment drive. Join Deep Rock Galactic, the most tenacious space mining corporation in the galaxy, and get your limited edition recruitment helmet, while supplies last.

SALE During the Free Weekend and an additional couple of days, Deep Rock Galactic will be 35% off, so if you have friends that have been waiting for a reason to take the plunge, this is it. Give them a nudge. The Free Weekend runs until September 16, 5PM UTC. The sale ends September 18, 5PM UTC.

Attention Miners!
While you impatiently wait for Update 25 to bring the Endgame to Hoxxes IV, we have decided to give you a little bonus hotfix. We’ve been doing more hotfixes than usual to keep you sated, and this one has a little extra something to keep you busy.

First of all, we have given the gunner a little love in regards to balance, as per request from the community.

The Minigun has gotten some much-needed punch, including both base damage and adjustment of mods. The Autocannon also got an overhaul, although not as significant as the Minigun.

Other weapon tweaks are counting the Boomstick, the Auto 210b, and the Voltaic SMG.

For those of you who like to work the long nightshifts with Bosco as a helping hand, we’ve upgraded the drone algorithm, allowing him to retrieve gems and other objects... Read more

EDIT: We posted an FAQ in the Steam forums. Find it here.

Listen up, Miners! Fasten your safety harness and... Read more

Take your seats, Miners! We got new grenades, eye candy, personal drop pods, a bunch of new enemies, and a TON of gear tweaks to brief you about, so grab a brew and listen up!

Also - look out for the [COMMUNITY REQUESTS] - these are things you guys have been very adamant in talking about and bringing to our notice, so keep up the good work! It is, as always, very appreciated. :D

--- PATCH NOTES --- GRENADE LOADOUT -----------------------------------
The boys and gals in R&D have been hard at work once more! All the old grenades have been reworked, and a ton of new ones have been added. Each class can now unlock up to three distinct types of class-specific throwables, with the potential for more to come in future Updates.
- Engineer: L.U.R.E, Plasma Burster, Proximity Mine
- Gunner: Sticky Grenade,... Read more

Attention Miners! Welcome to the second Deep Rock Galactic community update! First and foremost, we hope you have been enjoying going face to face with the Horrors of Hoxxes in Update 23. It’s been great to see all the positive feedback, and we’re looking forward to hearing what you think of the next big update. In regards to the release of Update 24, we are pushing the release back a little bit, to be able to finetune and polish the new content some more. We are confident that the update will land May 15 - remember to check back in due time for the experimental release.

Fan Art We’re still blown away by all the amazing fan art that the community keeps pumping out, and below you’ll find a small selection from our different channels.

Attention, Miners!
Due to glyphid swarmers in the machinery, the roadmap update has landed a little later than usual, but boy oh boy is it a good one. First of all, Update 24 will arrive early May instead of April, due to the Easter holiday in Denmark. Contentwise, for update 24 we’ll be getting a bit handsy. We are introducing no less than [REDACTED] new grenade types - not the big one we teased on Twitter, but we’re confident that everyone will be happy with their new throwable ordnance. Also, you want more swing in your pickaxe? There’s a mod for that!

With new things to throw at the enemy, we’re also giving you more to throw at. In Update 24 new creatures that go bump in the night will show up on Hoxxes IV and if you have been following us on social media, you might recognize a few.

We were... Read more
