Rogue Core FAQ
When does Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core release?
May 20, 2026 in Early Access on Steam. Early Access is planned to last 18–24 months.
Is Rogue Core a sequel to Deep Rock Galactic?
No — it is a stand-alone roguelite spin-off built by Ghost Ship Games. The original DRG continues to receive updates.
Do I need to own Deep Rock Galactic to play Rogue Core?
No. Rogue Core is a separate game. A bundle discount is planned for existing DRG owners.
How many players is Rogue Core?
1–4 player co-op, same as DRG.
How is Rogue Core different from regular DRG?
Equipment is scrounged each run, upgrades are randomized, progression is run-based with a meta-layer, and classes mostly define your gauntlet ability rather than locking your loadout.
