Deep Rock Galactic News

Full agenda for ‘On The Horizon’ dev livestream

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
There’s just under a week until we go live on October 5th at 14:00 CEST for Ghost Ship Publishing: On The Horizon, our big broadcast to talk about all things Ghost Ship.

Leading into that, two bits of news: The demos for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor and SpellRogue are officially live! We’ll be talking more about both of them during On The Horizon, and you can find links to the demos down below.

Okay, agenda time.
Here’s what we’ll be talking about next week:

14:00 - Welcome![/h3] CEO Søren Lundgaard and CCO/Game Director Mikkel Martin Pedersen say hello and get things going.
[h3]
14:10 - Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is almost here.[/h3] We’re happy to share that DRG: Survivor will be part of Steam’s Next Fest October 2023! Plus, the game has gotten an official release window – we’ll announce it live on the stream.
[h3]
14:25 - Spotlight on SpellRogue.[/h3] SpellRogue’s going to be part of Next Fest as well! We’ll take a look at the game, and also give a sharper idea on when you can expect a release date.
[h3]
14:40 - Updates from the DarkSwarm devs.[/h3] We’ll hear from Bitfire Games on what they’ve been up to, and the latest developments from this co-op tactical shooter.
[h3]
14:55 - New game picked up by Ghost Ship Publishing![/h3] Expect a live premiere of the trailer for the fourth game from Ghost Ship Publishing. Hope you like dinosaurs.
[h3]
15:15 - Hands-on with Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game’s new expansions, and the PS5 Special Edition.[/h3] Now that the Kickstarter for these expansions is live, we’ll crack open some samples of the Biomes and Space Rig packs for a hands-on look at what they bring to the table. We'll also take a quick look at what's in the box for the PS5 Special Edition of Deep Rock Galactic.
[h3]
15:30 - Our plans for Deep Rock Galactic, and Ghost Ship Games.[/h3] Last, but certainly not least: we’re finally ready to share an update on Deep Rock Galactic, and what we’ve been working on over here. :)
[h3]
16:00 - That’s all, folks![/h3] Søren and Mikkel wrap things up by performing a musical number and dance routine, before getting on two white horses and riding into the sunset.*

A note on the board game: We’ve said it before, but Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game isn’t being developed by Ghost Ship Games. The whole thing has been developed externally by MOOD Publishing, it’s not our project, we’ve been busy working on other stuff over here. Just want to underline that, as we keep seeing some confusion about it online.

Ghost Ship Publishing: On The Horizon is coming to you live on Thursday, October 5th at 14:00 CET. You can tune in on YouTube right here. Hope you’re able to join us!

*Disclaimer: We haven’t told Søren or Mikkel about the musical number or horse riding yet. That part’s still up in the air.

Deep Rock Galactic spin-off gets free demo on Steam, available now

Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op game that everyone should experience with friends at least once. It's chaotic, featuring procedurally generated caves and endless alien hordes to fight off, but that's a big part of what hooks players in. A little while back, Funday Games teamed up with Ghost Ship Publishing to reveal a Deep Rock Galactic spin-off called Survivor. Now that the developer has had some time to cook up the highly anticipated game, you can play its free demo on Steam.

Deep Rock Galactic dev says female characters aren't "on the table"

Deep Rock Galactic is one of those games that you simply can't put down. If you're playing with your friends, the addictive qualities show themselves tenfold. Unfortunately, a lot of us dedicated girl gamers can't create the dwarf we've always envisioned ourselves as since Ghost Ship Games hasn't added any female characters to Deep Rock Galactic. Adding them isn't as simple as it sounds though, as the developer has explained why.
