Deep Rock Galactic News

[h2]It’s time to vote, Miners!
[/h2]

Nominations for the 2022 Steam Awards are open, and we would love it if you would vote for DRG in the ‘Labor of Love’ category.



Because DRG really is a labor of love for all of us here at Ghost Ship. We hope that all of you playing DRG feel that, and that definitely seems to be the case judging by the response from Season 03.

It’s been a little over two weeks since we launched Season 03, and it’s surpassed all our expectations. More of you have joined the ranks of DRG than ever before, with Season 03 setting the record for the highest number of concurrent players ever in the game. More than 46.000 of you were playing at the same time following the release of Season 03, with many hundreds of thousands of new miners joining since the Rockpox first arrived. Whether your beard is green, grey, or any color in between, we salute you. Thank you, Miners!

While all of you have been dealing with the Rockpox, we have been hard at work releasing patches and figuring out what comes next. And while we are not quite ready to talk about what the far future brings for DRG (The Rockpox is still fresh on arrival in the caves of Hoxxes), we will soon reveal the next Seasonal Event.

What will the next Seasonal Event be? Yule have to wait a bit to find out...

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

The guys at R&D have been cracking away at solving important issues, such as how many pieces can be cut from one extra large chocolate space cake. The answer is 42.

Also they have spent some time fixing bugs and issues. Most notably the Voltaic Stun Sweeper now have improved targeting. The APD-B317 unit has been reprogrammed to do a better job at cleaning and Plague Hearts now give the right amount of XP as concluded by the official agreement between the miners unions and DRG management.
