'Deep Rock Galactic' (ALL) Celebrates 1st Anniversary With Free Steam Weekend

by Rainier on Feb. 28, 2019 @ 9:31 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.

Deep Rock Galactic enforcers Ghost Ship Games and Coffee Stain Publishing are pleased to announce a host of exciting new initiatives to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview launch.

Potential new recruits have the chance to embark on a perilous probation period in a Free Weekend on Steam from today until March 4th, and Deep Rock Galactic is celebrating with a 25% sale on Steam and Xbox Game Preview and a festive update.

To mark this momentous occasion Deep Rock Galactic is encouraging employees to let loose with update 22. Recruits can enjoy a time limited one year celebration hat, festive space rig dressing, and most importantly, an all day happy hour in the Abyss Bar where all beverages are half price courtesy of Deep Rock Galactic management. Update 22 also introduces weekly assignments where miners can earn hefty bonuses in credits and minerals, and 13 new items of headgear. The Supporter Upgrade DLC on Steam has also been updated with new weapon skins and an exclusive Ghost Ship Games helmet.

Deep Rock Galactic first began officially recruiting brave space mining dwarves on February 28th, 2018 when it launched on Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview and the team recently celebrated over 500k sales across both platforms. Since launch, the game has seen an enormous array of new content introduced across a plethora of new updates, including the brand new ice biome, new game modes, new enemies, and new weapons, armour and gadgets for its badass dwarven miners.

Ghost Ship Games has also been releasing regular updates to the Deep Rock Galactic roadmap which promises more new enemies, mission types, a new boss encounter and a revamped Space Rig, all slated to appear in the next four months. To reflect the current state of the game and the exciting new content that’s yet to come, the price of Deep Rock Galactic will increase to $29.99/€27.99€/£24.99 on Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview in late March.

“This year has been an absolute whirlwind for us. We’ve been completely blown away by the success of Deep Rock Galactic,” said Søren Lundgaard, CEO/Co-Founder of Ghost Ship Games. “We have an incredible community who we work alongside in our attempt to develop the best dwarven co-op space shooter in the galaxy, and we hope we can continue to make them proud as we move towards full release.”

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.

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