Hello Miners,
Season 02 is still on track for an April release, and we are continuing our reveals of the four new secondary weapons. This time it's the Driller's new best friend: the Colette Wave Cooker! Someone from R&D found a way to turn a kitchen appliance into a deadly weapon that will boil the enemies leaving behind only a nasty smell of burned Glyphid flesh!



Season 02 theme and title
You have probably also wondered about what Season 02 will be called and how it will be themed. And it might not come as a complete surprise that we have decided to build upon Season 01 and expand on the whole Rival theme. That also means the Industrial Sabotage mission will s... Read more

Hello Miners!
What a launch we have had with Season 01! The reception has been overwhelming, and you broke EVERY record for Deep Rock Galactic! We are deeply humbled by the sheer dedication and positiveness of the DRG community. Let’s look at the numbers and celebrate together!

Since its launch in February 2018, Deep Rock Galactic has sold more than 3 MILLION units across Steam and Xbox. More than 4 million players have played the game - this number includes Free Weekends and GamePass players. And during the first weekend of Season 01, the peak concurrent players (CCU) reached 41.733 and moved Deep Rock into the absolute top of the most played games on Steam. At Ghost Ship Games, we are very proud of this achievement since building up our player numbers was a clear goal for the Season 01 release. So thank you all for playin... Read more

Hello, Miners!
We are finally able to reveal a “small” side project that has been in the works since the beginning of 2021. And yes, as some you have guessed, we are making a board game adaptation of Deep Rock Galactic! To give you some background on this, our CEO and co-founder, Søren Lundgaard, has prepared this blog post for you.

But before you read on, please check the pre-Kickstarter page HERE[www.deeprockgalactic.com] and make sure to sign-up for a notification when the Kickstarter goes live next year! And a chance to WIN your own copy!

Hello Miners!
The title says it all, really - Update 35 will be the largest update the game’s received to date, and it’s become clear we will not be able to hit the originally planned Q3 release date. As always, we want this update to be great, and to not rush it out of the door before it is done. And from what we hear time and again from so many of you, you overwhelmingly feel the same.

We believe Update 35 will set the direction for where Deep Rock Galactic will go from here, and we can’t wait to properly show off all we have in store for you. We’ve already shown you the new weapons, but there is much more. Oh, and if you missed the weapon teasers, here is a recap:

Hello Miners,
It’s now 3 years since Deep Rock Galactic was released into Early Access on Steam and Game Preview on Xbox. And it is almost 5 years since development started and Ghost Ship was founded by six hopeful game dev veterans. And now the Ghost Ship crew counts 25 heads and the Deep Rock community crossed 2 million. And it’s still growing.

When we started out, we decided to deliver constant updates to the game to make sure we could include the feedback from the community as swiftly as possible. Starting in Closed Alpha, going through Early Access and a 1.0 release, we have in total delivered 33 updates to the game and an innumerable amount of hotfixes to said updates. And when we announced the latest update to the living Roadmap the plan was to continue with a new major update roughly every quarter (or 3 months). This ... Read more

Hello Miners,
As we’ve mentioned, on Friday the 26th we will mark 3 years in orbit for Deep Rock Galactic and already starting this Thursday, we’ll be having a little anniversary fun.

Beginning Thursday 1:00 PM UTC+1, you can enjoy the 3-Year-In-Orbit Anniversary events including:

• NEW ARMOR HUNT ASSIGNMENT: Unlock the new Scale Brigade Armor and Headwear by completing a special Prestige Assignment. After the event, which will last until March 14th, this assignment will only be available to players with Rank 100 and above.
  
  UPDATE: It appears to be easy to misunderstand the rules about this Armor assignment. So let's try again: Until March 14th this assignment is available to EVERY miner that has completed the Conquer Hoxxes intro campaign. And after March 14th, it will be available as...

Hello Miners!
It’s the first Update of 2021, and we got some spicy stuff for you! This time we got two entirely new Planetary Regions for you to explore - 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. And then of course there’s the usual slew of other goodies - read more below for the full picture!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

NEW BIOME: AZURE WEALD


The Azure Weald is a chilly place, every bit as hostile as the rest of Hoxxes IV - but still, we cannot deny ... Read more

Hello Miners,

On Thursday February 4th at 1 pm CET we will release Update 33: New Frontiers. To go along with this major update, we are also releasing a paid cosmetic DLC named "Dawn of the Dread".



The Dawn of the Dread Pack is here to offer something...a little bit different. Spice up your look with four new sets of unique armor (one per class), new helmets, and new Paintjobs. This Pack is reserved for the true Big Game Hunters of Hoxxes - dress up in the broken remains of your slain enemies, and make a statement! What exactly that statement IS, however...that's probably better left for the company shrink.

- 4 unique suits of Armor, one for each Class

Hello Miners,
Once in a while, it's good to look back and see what you have accomplished. When we founded Ghost Ship Games four and a half years ago, we knew we would bring Deep Rock Galactic to life, and we decided that open development and co-op first would be our guiding principles. But - we never anticipated the fantastic community that would spring up around the game, or the fact that we'd strike gold like we have and end up with a bonafide success on our hands.

Before we launched into Early Access, we reached an internal agreement that 200.000 units sold during the game's lifetime would be suitable, and would allow us to continue and do a new game. But now we just crossed 2 MILLION units sold, and the game is performing stronger than ever - not only in sales, but also in the strength of the community. When reading a random thread on gaming and suddenly one user comments "Rock and Stone", causing the whole thread to explode in rock-and-stone shouts, then you know yo... Read more

Hello Miners, We got an announcement to make. On the last road map, we stated that the two new biomes we would add to update 33 would be Azure Weald and Caustic Mire. When we made the decision for those two biomes we were actually experimenting with multiple different types of biomes and after a couple of weeks of prototyping, we fell in love with a different biome than Caustic Mire. Say hello to Hollow Bough!

Biome Description Hollow Bough is a biological oddity that has the Science Department scratching their heads - this entire region of the planet is dominated by colossal, organic conglomerations resembling the inside of hollow trees. However, these structures are under attack by an invasive species of voracious vine-like plants, as much a threat to us as the planet itself. We recommend traversing these environs with extreme...
