'Deep Rock Galactic' (ALL) Celebrates 1st Anniversary With New Update

by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2019 @ 9:33 a.m. PST

Deep Rock Galactic is a procedurally generated first person co-op shooter for up to 4 players.

As a team of veteran dwarven space miners, you must go on missions for your corporate overlords and venture into the deepest, most dangerous cave systems of the most hostile planet ever discovered.

Experience teamwork as you’ve never experienced it in a co-op game before. Complete missions and gather ever more riches. Expand your roster of class-based skills, unlock new gear and weapons, and take on the worst monsters the galaxy has to offer.

Players take up arms as one of four classes of badass dwarven miners, each with their own invaluable set of skills and gear. The Driller, the Engineer, the Scout and the Gunner must work together to survive a relentless onslaught of ravenous aliens and escape the procedurally generated caves with their bounty intact.

Enlisted dwarves will be paired with up to three like-minded brethren and sent on missions to the most hostile planet ever discovered, Hoxxes IV, to mine precious gems and metals. Cooperation is essential to your success and, as an interplanetary mining conglomerate, Deep Rock Galactic depends on its employees to take care of each other.

In celebration of the one year anniversary of the Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview launch of co-op space mining FPS Deep Rock Galactic this Thursday, Ghost Ship Games and Coffee Stain Publishing have released an exciting Birthday update.

Update 22 introduces a host of festive celebrations to encourage wild dwarven space parties, including festive Space Rig dressing, a fancy party hat for your dwarf, happy hour at the Abyss Bar, as well as a host of technical tweaks and a weekly assignment system.

  •  Highlights from Update 22 are:
  • One year celebration goodies:
    • The Space Rig has been decorated and is ready to host raucous dwarf parties
    • One year time limited celebration hat available from the Gear Shop (as seen in the image above.)
    • Happy hour in the Abyss Bar: All beverages are half off, courtesy of management.
  • Upgrades to the Support Upgrade DLC (Steam exclusive):
    • Gilded Supporter skins for the weapons for all characters
    • Exclusive Ghost Ship Games supporter helmet
    • Supporters now get special treatment when ordering Glyphid Slammers at the Abyss Bar.
  • Weekly assignments introduced:
    • Complete these to earn a hefty cache of credits and minerals.
  • Thirteen new items of headgear including a snappy beret, pig-iron mohawk and cosy beanie
  • More structures have been added to the cave generator which will result in a greater variety of levels in all mission types.
  • You can check out the full patch notes here.
  • Deep Rock Galactic recently celebrated 500k sales across platforms.

Deep Rock Galactic is available on Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview for $24.99/€22.99.

Key Features:

  • 4-player Co-Op: Work together as a team to dig, explore, and fight your way through massive cave systems filled with hordes of deadly enemies and valuable resources.
  • 4 Unique Classes: Mow through enemies as the Gunner, scout ahead and light up the caves as the Scout, chew through solid rock as the Driller, or support the team with defensive structures and turrets as the Engineer.
  • Fully Destructible Environments: Destroy everything around you to reach your goal. There is no set path so you can complete your mission your way. But proceed with caution, you don’t want to stumble into an alien swarm unprepared!
  • Procedurally Generated Cave Network: Explore a network of procedurally generated cave systems filled with enemies to fight and riches to collect.
  • Light Your Path: The underground caves are dark and full of terrors. You will need to bring your own lights if you want to illuminate these pitch-black caverns.
