Hello Miners!
Two years ago, we pushed the scary-looking button called "Release to Early Access", in the firm hope that Deep Rock Galactic would become the next big thing in co-op gaming. Today, we can look back at a fantastic journey where we've exceeded all our goals - not to mention the privilege of witnessing you all play and enjoy the game, while helping us spread the word on space-mining dwarves. And even more amazing to us is the fact that Deep Rock Galactic is now played and enjoyed by more players than ever, all over the world. This calls for some celebration!
So, we've just released a small update to remind us all that Deep Rock Galactic has been in orbit for two years. Like last year, Management has dressed up the Space Rig, and every dwarf will receive a unique Year Two Party Hat. And you can claim this for all your classes with one easy click! The 2-Year Party Hat will be available for at least a week.
In addition to this, Bosco now has Paintjobs to unlock in addition to Frameworks, to celebrate the little drone's importance to the operation. Owners of the Supporter Upgrade will receive a special Gilded Paintjob for him, and all players will gain access to four additional new Paintjobs as they upgrade Bosco: Abyssal Frost, Scorched, Corporate Mint, and Primal Blood.
Tomorrow, the 28nd of February, on the actual 2-year day, we'll be livestreaming from the office of Ghost Ship Games, as well as host another AMA on Reddit at r/deeprockgalactic. The AMA will start at 10am CES and continue for many hours into the afternoon. We'll also be revealing the new Roadmap, further outlining our current plans up until launch and into the future.
The livestream will kick off with the usual Deep Dive stream at 1pm CET (UTC+1), but we plan to continue all day long and into the evening, so fans around the globe can get a chance to watch it live and participate in the chat. We'll stream simultanously to the Steam page, Twitch, Youtube, and Mixer.
Rock and Stone, Miners! Let's make this weekend a Deep Rock Galactic weekend!
Cheers
Ghost Ship Crew
