Deep Rock Galactic News

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
Something quite different this time: Our friends over at Channel 3 Records will be making a vinyl containing 21 tracks from the Deep Rock Galactic Soundtrack.



Pre-ordering begins October 1st at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT here: https://ch3records.com/products/deep-rock-galactic

Orders officially close November 1st, 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT. Final delivery is anticipated for early Q3, 2023.

The soundtrack was originally composed by Sophus Alf Agerbæk-Larsen, produced by Troels Jørgensen, with Mikkel Martin Petersen as Executive Producer. Mikkel has previously written a post on how the soundtrack came together.

Fun Fact: Sophus is Mikkel’s nephew. And no, he didn’t get to make the soundtrack because of his family ties, but rather in spite of it; Mikkel initially did not want to mix family and business, but Sophus proved he was the right person for the job (seriously, go read Mikkel’s writeup of the whole thing).

The record will contain 21 of the tracks from the full soundtrack, split over two vinyls.



There will be two versions of the vinyls, a classic black version and another with graphic patterns inspired by Fungus Bogs and Magma Core.



The LP also features a triple gatefold art piece made by Tim Murray. You may have seen some of his DRG fan art before.



And on top of that, each version comes with 4 silicone coasters of the beers from DRG.



This has been a bit of a special project for us. Making a record of the soundtrack was not something we had planned, but when Caleb and Travis from Channel 3 Records approached us with the idea it made a lot of sense to us. We know that a lot of you love the soundtrack and this would be a completely new way to enjoy it. Channel 3 Records also has a track record (no pun intended) of making visually stunning records for games. And after talking to them, it became clear that they were huge fans of the game and knew DRG in-depth. This has been a passion project both for Channel 3 Records and us, and we believe the end product shows it.

Time to fire up that jukebox, Miners! For this one time, Management approves of dancing.

[h2]Hello Miners!
[/h2]
More teasers have arrived! First, a short glimpse of something that will be quite necessary for whatever is about to happen once Season 03 arrives.

More details on exactly what purpose those two somethings serve in the coming weeks. However, we can give you a bit more details for the final grenade reveal: The Tactical Leadburster.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Again, we are stretching the definition of "grenade" here, but if something can deal damage like the Tactical Leadburster, then naming conventions take a backseat.

This little bundle of death fires off projectiles in a full 360-degree radius, providing anything not of dwarven toughness with a high dose of lead and some new ventilation holes to boot. Just throw it on the ground, stand back (stand waaay back), and admire the results.

Given this information, can you guess who the Tactical Leadburster is for?

The Gunner. It’s the gunner. It’s literally a throwable gun…


Stay tuned Miners, we have more exciting reveals next week. Until then, Rock and Stone!

[h2]Attention, Miners!
[/h2]
More teasers are inbound. First, a quick look at what is coming to Hoxxes when Season 03 arrives. Last week you saw a brief glimpse of something previously not seen before in the caves. And this week, you get a closer (although briefer) look at this unknown entity.

Yup, that is definitely not robots.

But do you know what is? The Engineer’s new Grenade - the Shredder Swarm!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Shredder Swarm Grenade spawns a swarm of reprogrammed Shredder Drones that will target any enemy in its vicinity. The Engineer has worked closely with R&D to ensure this miniature squadron of death does not target anything Dwarven. Management has complete faith in the reliability of this new addition to your arsenal, and can’t wait to see the improvements to productivity and overall deadlines brought forth by this flock of mechanical murderers.

We know you are excited for more, and we have more teasers coming soon. Stay tuned Miners!

Until then, get back to work.

Rock and Stone!

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
We have a few more things to tease for Season 03. First up, something new has appeared in the caves of Hoxxes. We don’t want to spoil too much, but you might be able to spot it in this short clip:

We will be talking more about…whatever it is…very soon.

For something more hands-on (pun intended), check out the Springloaded Ripper, the second in the lineup of new grenades for Season 03:

This throwable workplace hazard unleashes a set of springloaded sawblades that will shred most organic matter it encounters. Operate with care and deadly precision. Management considers this new tool a prime example of why beer is not allowed on missions.

That’s it for this round - stay tuned for more teasers and upcoming reveals, and do be sure to catch our dev streams every Thursday and Friday on Twitch (channel: ghostship_games).

With Love,
