Rogue Core development update (we’re pushing the release a little)

Hello Reclaimers,

We just wrapped up our state-of-Ghost-Ship livestream, On the Horizon, where we shared some big news for both Rogue Core and Deep Rock Galactic. For Rogue Core, we took a look at a couple recent developments like the new 'Retcon' class, new gear and expanded class abilities.

The other big piece of news is that we've decided to push Rogue Core's Early Access release a little bit, so we're now aiming for Q2 of 2026. We'll get into the why of it down below.

Rogue Core Early Access delayed to Q2 2026

The big news for Rogue Core is that we’ve decided to delay the game’s early access release a little bit.

It’s coming along nicely, but we think it needs a few more minutes in the oven. We’d rather push our deadlines than feel rushed or crunched to get it out. This way, we’ll have time to feel like we can give it everything it deserves for early access. Our current aim is for early access launch in Q2 2026.

We’ve made an updated road map from now through to March 2026, just to lay out a couple milestones and give an idea of what these next months might look like. We’ll keep you updated along the way with anything especially important or interesting as it comes up.

Like we mentioned in the full recap article, Deep Rock Galactic Season 06 is also currently in production, and now scheduled for release before Rogue Core.

Thanks for your patience – we can’t wait to get Rogue Core out into the world. If you’ve got questions or comments, feel free to share them down below, or ask us during our weekly dev streams on Twitch and Youtube.
