The Season 06 Narrated Trailer is here!

Hello Miners,

Just two weeks until we breach the Ossuary Depths for all the perils and profits of Season 06. “Relics of Hoxxes” goes live on Steam on Thursday, January 29th (and coming to consoles around two weeks after), bringing a new biome, new mission, new enemies, loads of rewards, and more to the work site.

But don’t just take it from us – here’s Mission Control to walk you through everything in the official Season 06 Narrated Trailer. The full write-up is right down below.

Technical note: Steam's video embedding feature is still uncooperative for some people, it seems. If you don't see a clickable video right below this text, there should be a small hyperlink instead.

Deployment zone: OSSUARY DEPTHS

“...the striking column formations give these caverns the appearance of a great cathedral, though the bones amassed here might suggest this place is more of a burial catacomb. In light of this possibility, as well as observed hostilities from local fauna, we urge company management to avoid this ‘boneyard’ for any future mining operations.”

-Excerpt from a report by the DRG Planetary Surveys Department While some mothballed old documents in the company archives make mention of the Ossuary Depths, the fabled “boneyard” was overlooked for many years. Management considered it a recording error, the product of a careless and overly-cautious company surveyor.

But thanks to recent Deep Scan operations, we’ve uncovered some blind spots on our planetary profile, and discovered an area that precisely matches these early descriptions of the “Boneyard of Hoxxes.” Except the stuff about it being dangerous or sacred. We looked into that and it’s not true.

So prepare yourselves for deployment: Deep Rock Galactic is preparing all mining teams to initiate extraction in the Ossuary Depths.

The Ossuary Depths was once in near-total isolation from the rest of Hoxxes, but our initial scouting operations have opened up enough tunnels that all the usual hostile creatures of Hoxxes have found their way down here.

You’ll also have to contend with the native species of the Depths: the Ossirans. We’ll get to them a bit later.

New mission: HEAVY EXTRACTION

We’re not down here on a sightseeing trip. There’s a new work order on the docket.

As a result of the tectonic disturbances (allegedly) connected to our Deep Scan operations, priceless clusters of Resinite Mass have been pushed closer toward the surface. R+D reckons these ancient relics may give us deeper insights into Hoxxes IV’s natural history, but failing that, they’re worth a king’s ransom to the right buyer. So we need you to dig ‘em up.

Your first step is to locate and excavate Resinite Mass in your work site. You don’t need any fancy equipment to find them beyond a good old fashioned pair of eyeballs. They ought to glimmer a bit if you look carefully.

Once found, it’s time to roll up your sleeves. Use your pickaxes to dig out the surrounding area in order to make space for extraction. If you’ve got a Driller on your team, they'll feel extra special during this part. If you don’t, you’ll wish you did.

Finally, it’s time for extraction! Mission Control will send down a Lift Pod containing four heavy lift rockets. Fix the rockets to the Resinite Mass, then keep your beards clear of the launch zone as the lasers carve a path upwards for orbital extraction.

It’s a straightforward job, honest work for an honest dwarf. Any injuries related to the lasers fall under the “Laser-Based Maiming Liability Exemptions” section in your contract.

Enemy classification: THE OSSIRANS

During your work down in the Depths, you can expect to be interrupted by the local inhabitants: the Ossirans. As it turns out,
