Deep Rock Galactic News

We said back in April that Deep Rock Galactic has "one of the last positive communities left in gaming," but even among that crew, there are limits. Those boundaries were reached earlier this month when developer Ghost Ship Games unveiled the new Decontaminator Pack cosmetic DLC. To put it bluntly, players did not care for it...

Last week we announced our next upcoming DLC - the DECONTAMINATOR PACK - and as usual we’ve been following along on all your feedback in the wake of it. Turns out a good chunk of you didn’t feel it was up to our usual standards - in particular the titular Weapon Framework itself, and the accompanying Paintjob. We had a bit of a nagging feeling ourselves that this new pack wasn’t up to the standards required of a DLC pack, and reading your comments confirmed this.

Frameworks and Armors are peculiar entities, and what might look super cool to some, might read as boring to others - and especially in the case of DLC packs, we are learning that more bling tends to be received better. You’re putting down good money for these items, and you want them to stand out - we hear you!

So, in order to make this a DLC worth adding to your collection, we decided to tweak the Weapon Framework, and update the Paintjob. We’ve focused on making the guns stand out a lot more with some brand new attachments, adding vials and digital displays to lean more into the “Decontaminator” theme.

And don’t worry, those of you already cracking your knuckles to tell us you liked the old Paintjob: The Paintjob you saw in the first trailer will be added to the next Performance Pass, because dang it, we really liked it!

Anyway, here’s a first view of the reworked DLC pack:

As always, we are very grateful for all your candid comments. Community feedback and discussion remains a huge part of developing DRG, and we always want to hear from you. Whether it be praise or critique, it’s always a good indicator if we are on the right track or not.

Just so we are all on the same page in terms of what is in the pack, since we also noticed some confusion in the comments:

The Decontaminator Pack is a Weapon Framework Pack, not an Armor pack - when you buy it you will get the Decontaminator Weapon Framework, and the Decontaminator Paintjob that you can apply to all other Weapon Frameworks, Armors, your Pickaxe, and Bosco. Check the store page for details, and wishlist it if you want to be notified as soon as it launches on June 15th (June 22nd on Consoles).

Thank you once again for your feedback, Miners. Your engagement and dedication is what continues making Deep Rock Galactic what it is today!

In case you missed it, we just revealed the new Cosmetic DLC Pack we will release alongside Season 04 - the Decontaminator Pack!

This new DLC includes the new Decontaminator framework for all weapons in the game, alongside the Decontaminator paintjobs for all other weapon frameworks, armor, pickaxe, and Bosco. You’ll be well–fashioned to deal with the next set of horrors the Rockpox throws your way!



The DLC Pack is now available for wishlisting, so you can be among the first to show off the fancy new framework. Your fellow Miners will be green with envy!

[h2]Hello Miners,

We are still making our way through the more than one thousand (!) comments to last week’s Steam Post, containing our very cryptic image.
It has been an absolute joy to share your excitement for Season 04, and many of you already found the message hidden within the artwork. To reward your effort and excitement, here is the full Key Art reveal for Season 04!



Why are the dwarves flying? What is that monstrosity they are fighting? What’s in the box? Patience, Miners. All things will be revealed in good time. And soon - you may count on it.

There is one thing we can reveal, though:
The title of Season 04 is CRITICAL CORRUPTION.

Season 04: Critical Corruption will push the struggle against the Rockpox Lithophage beyond what you have experienced in Season 03. It’s time to put a stop to this plague, Miners - Deep Rock Galactic does not tolerate a toxic work environment!

And also, while not technically a reveal (wink-wink), Season 04 also has a release date: June 15th on Steam, and June 22nd on Consoles. So suit up, call down the cleansing pod, and get ready to decontaminate more than you’ve ever decontaminated. And stay tuned for more Season 04 reveals, the next of which you can watch on Friday on our Youtube channel, where we will premiere the Season 04 Cosmetic DLC Pack. You don’t want to miss it!

Until then,

Rock and Stone!
