Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core finds miners in their deadliest dive yet, as 1-4 players band together, diving deep into Hoxxes IV in this cooperative FPS roguelite adventure. Shortly after the discovery of a new material known as Expenite, dig sites in the planet’s core have mysteriously gone offline. To fix the issue, Mission Control is sending a team of battle-hardened dwarven Reclaimers into the depths of Hoxxes IV to bring these sites online, fight back against the monstrous Core Spawn, and reestablish control of operations.

For those brave enough to take on this mission, players can take on four of Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core’s brand-new classes, with more arriving in the future. The Falconeer allows the chance to fight on two fronts at once, the Slicer is an expert in delivering offensive assault, the Spotter can identify the best targets for attack, and the Guardian works to keep players safe from the threat of the Core Spawn.

Each run finds miners equipped with their Reclaimer’s Gauntlet to start, before their deadly descent into Hoxxes IV to battle across procedurally-generated stages. Missions will see teams blasting through rock and stone, featuring the franchise’s staple of fully destructible environments, in an attempt to reach the Core and reclaim the dig site. Within the darkness, salvage caches can be uncovered to expand load-outs with upgrades, and Expenite can be harvested and deposited in the trusty Processor Drone to create powerful temporary upgrades.

Every stage deeper into the planet will increase in difficulty, as dwarves complete optional mission tasks to earn extra Expenite for upgrades and work together to bring dig sites back online. Between stages, teams can take a breather within their ship, the RV-09 “Ramrod”, where research to permanently unlock new upgrades can increase the chances of survival. These enhancements can be carried over to the next dive, ensuring meaningful roguelite progression keeps even the weakest of dwarves at the top of their game.

Ghost Ship Games revealed the brand-new trailer for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core as part of today’s triple-i initiative, providing a new look at the gameplay, enemies, and action that players will encounter.

For dwarves eager to assist in reclaiming the lost dig sites, can register their interest in the Closed Alpha test on the Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core Steam page.

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is in development for PC, expected to be available through Steam Early Access in Q4 2025 with full v1.0 launch in 2027.
