[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]"New year, new me", they say, and Management will approve, if "new me" is even more focused on the work done. Speaking of that, Management is pleased to see so many employees completing their new assignments in the Ossuary Depths![/p][p]Anyway, a new year also brings a new Lunar Festival in Deep Rock Galactic, and this year, we're galloping into the Year of the Horse. This year's Lunar Festival goes live in DRG on Tuesday, February 17th at 13.00 CET, and it'll last until March 3rd, 13.00 CET. Here's what's included int he event, straight from the horse's mouth.

Time to start horsing around![/h2][p]The Company has decided to reward the most stable workers with a new headpiece, the Staggering Stallion. Any dwarf, who completes the Lunar Festival 2026 work assignment, will receive this whimsical addition to their wardrobe. As an extra incentive, the assignment will also unlock the Peerless Warrior, a shiny gold-horse-tiara for the ponys, bronys and Rock and Stone-y's.[/p][h3]Legacy Lunar Looks[/h3][p]We got a note from R&D that their experiments to turn old hats into lethal weaponry has not yet yielded successful results, so management has generously decided to hand these out to employees instead.[/p][p]Grab all the previous Lunar Festival hats and headwear by completing the Last Year's Blessings assignment. They come with same-minute shipping, the moment you complete your assignment, because that's how efficiently the Company runs.
[/p][h3]Furlong-lost Treasure[/h3][p]A cargo ship transporting rare golden horse statues had an unfortunate unplanned rapid disassembly when it hit a stray meteorite. We thought the cargo had gone to the knackers, but we've gotten reports it's been dropped across Hoxxes IV. The Company will get a hefty finder's fee for any of these, so any team recovering a Golden Horse Statue will be awarded with Double Performance Point Bonus. Fortunately, they glow in the dark![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Firecrackers are back on the menu[/h3][p]We've decorated the Space Rig with firecrackers, lamps, banners, and Space Persimmons. And while we said "back on the menu", we'd like to emphasize, that the firecrackers are not edible!
So stop by the Abyss Bar and enjoy the festivities.

In just a few short days, we will redefine the concept of sports.

This happens, of course, at the grand finale of the 2026 Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals. In front of a live audience at Copenhagen Gaming Week (and around the world via Twitch and Youtube), we’ll witness Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor at its absolute maximum difficulty, as contestants face a custom build tailor-made to be more punishing than anything we’ve ever seen.

It will be, in no uncertain terms, the uncompromising pinnacle of athletic achievement, and a defining moment in sports entertainment.

On Thursday, February 12th, our brave contestants will compete on the world stage for the right to call themselves the Ultimate Survivor. On the line, of course, is the coveted Heavyweight Championship title belt — and there’s only one room for one champion.

Last week’s quarterfinals saw three contestants eliminated over three breakneck blitz matches, leaving us four finalists to compete at the championship.

Your four finalists are:

• OHRye
• Merkaba18
• Siirvend
• Farham

In case you missed out on all the action so far, you can catch up on everything that happened by watching the recording of the Quarterfinals right down below.

If you’re in Copenhagen, you can be part of the live audience at Copenhagen Gaming Week to witness the historic grand finale. But otherwise, you can tune in to witness sporting history on Twitch and Youtube. We’ll see you in just a few days at the finals.

Just remember: If you can’t take the heat, you can’t beat the bricks.
