Ghost Ship Games had an announcement today via their Discord and Steam page. It appears this confirms the start of Season 06 for DRG along with a new Cosmetic DLC: Relic Raiders.
You can mine your way on over to management and have a look at the official documents, here.
My personal opinion is, our group does not frequent DRG nearly enough for my preference. DRG is such a fantastic game!
On our last bit of a run, I worked on the driller. Generally speaking, I’m usually stuck on the gunner. Although to be fair, I do love the gunner class. Still it was nice to get to play around with something else for a bit. Kilen picked up the role of gunner for me, while my son stuck with the Scout.
We even managed to get Eldon to download the game and join us for a bit of space dwarven, mining adventure! What a grand time! What a grand time indeed! Plenty of brews (my son loves that aspect of the game, and to be fair most of the brews give you buffs for the missions), humor, bug squashing, and mineral gathering shenanigans!
Now, what was I talking about? Oh, right, the Announcements! 2026 looks to be off to a mineral-rich start indeed, me dwarven friends! I’ve taken the liberty of including the message for the announcement below. If I were you though, I’d still pay their official message a visit to have a gander at the images, videos, and other eye candy they provided there!
Season 06: “Relics of Hoxxes” is coming to Steam
Hello Miners,
We hope everyone’s having a mineral-rich start to 2026. What a number! And you know what else ends in 6? Season 06. Speaking of which, we’ve got news.
We’re here to share the official Season 06 key art and reveal the release date, though some of you keen-eyed miners already figured it out from the cluess we teased earlier this week. Congratulations! And now, drum roll:
Season 06: RELICS OF HOXXES is coming to Steam in just a few weeks, on January 29th, 2026. It’ll hit consoles about 2 weeks after that.
In Season 06, we’re digging into the ancient past, down among the dusty bones of the new Ossuary Depths biome.
But we’re not going down in this gloomy old sepulchre for some memento mori nonsense – we’re here to get rich. Well, to make the Company rich. Same thing. The new Heavy Excavation mission puts you in pursuit of priceless Resinite Mass deposits, which we’ll need dug up and sent spacewards as fast as you can muster. But keep your guns close at hand: in addition to the usual swarms of Glyphids, you’ll be going toe-to-toe with the Ossiran enemies and their nasty new tricks.
More details on all that coming next week. Just mark your calendars for now, because Management expects all employees fresh-faced and eager to work on January 29th.
New DLC: The ‘Relic Raider’ Pack
Of course, if you’re tromping through lost catacombs in search of treasure, you’d be a fool not to look the part. That’s why we’re rolling out the all-new (or all-old?) Relic Raider DLC pack, to give your dwarves some seasoned vintage style down in the Ossuary Depths.
The Relic Raiders are Deep Rock Galactic’s daring division of combat archaeologists. If antiquities turn up at a dig site, it’s the Raiders who get sent in to catalog, appraise and extract the goods. They’re a bit old school, sure. But so is their line of work. Whoever said “It belongs in a museum!” clearly didn’t know how much this stuff sells for.
That’s all for now! More to come in the following weeks, so keep an eye on your news feed for updates and details.
Much love and a big ol’ Rock and Stone to you all. Talk soon!
With love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew
