Hello Miners! If you missed last week’s ‘On the Horizon’ livestream, you’re in for a treat. The Ghost Ship crew has shared some major updates that promise to enhance our beloved mining experience. Whether you’re a seasoned dwarf or just getting your boots dusty, there’s plenty to dig into.
The Tippy-Top Highlights
Let’s dive right into the highlights:
- Deep Rock Galactic merch is finally here! Yes, you read that right! We can finally sport some DRG gear thanks to a partnership with Heroic Replicas. Head over to the official webshop where you can find items like t-shirts featuring all four classes and even ceramic Loot Bug piggy banks, adorably dubbed “buggy banks.” How cute is that?

- Rogue Core’s Closed Alpha is slated for Q2 2025. Early Access should follow at the end of 2025. It seems like there are lots of exciting developments on this front! For those eager beavers wanting early access updates, be sure to follow Rogue Core on Steam.
- Season 06 will have to wait until Rogue Core launches. In an interesting move, the team has decided to focus solely on Rogue Core before diving into Season 06 content development. This could mean great things for quality down the line but leaves fans waiting with bated breath.
- A new title from Ghost Ship Publishing: Guntouchables! Developed by GameSwing, this co-op shooter looks promising as it aims to blend elements from Nuclear Throne and Left 4 Dead. You can catch its reveal trailer.\
