In February 2004, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was a hit out of the gate when it sold one million copies during its first week in early access. Now, this top-down single-player shooter is ready for its full launch next month. And as announced at GamescomDeep Rock Galactic: Survivor is also heading to Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will hit PC and Xbox Series X|S on September 17. GameSpot’s Chris Pereira greatly enjoyed Survivor in early accessand compared it to Vampire Survivor. The game places players in control of a single dwarf miner, who can assume one of four classes: Driller, Engineer, Scout, and Gunner. Each class gives the dwarf different abilities and options as he explores Hoxxes IV, a procedurally generated planet filled with hostile aliens and riches beyond imagining.
Ghost Ship Games set the date for Survivor’s release earlier this year, while noting that the decision to launch forced the publisher to drop Endless Mode from the game. The devs at Funday Games noted that keeping Endless Mode posed several technical challenges that would have bogged down the game’s release. However, there is still a plan to add Endless Mode to Survivor at a later date.
This isn’t the only spin-off from the popular shooter Deep Rock Galactic. Ghost Ship Games has a roguelite spin-off from the game in the works called Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core. That game doesn’t currently have a release date, but a trailer for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core was shared earlier this year.
