During Future Games Show 2026, the developers from Ghost Ship Games revealed the Early Access Launch date for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core. The announcement followed a brand-new trailer presentation, featuring core gameplay elements. The game breaks into Early Access this spring, on May 20th. The developers promise to share more details before the release date.
Rogue Core is a rogue-like co-op FPS in the world of Deep Rock Galactic. The game features rogue-like elements, offering a new challenge at each run. Players can team up with up to 4 friends and explore abandoned mines, fight alien monster and gain treasures. Rogue Core adopts key principles from Deep Rock Galactic, featuring familiar mechanics such as traversal tools, weapon synergies, and the iconic “Rock and Stone.” However, it focuses more on building a cohesive “team build” synergy on the fly rather than four individual builds.
