The third major content update has just landed for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, as developer Ghost Ship Games continues its effort to turn things around following the game’s mixed reception at launch.

The third update for the roguelite shooter includes a new boss called Balgorath, waiting for you at Depth 4, and it sounds like it’s going to be a bullet-fest. Meanwhile, existing bosses will potentially be rift-enhanced, which sounds cool but will actually be quite painful.

On top of new bosses and attack patterns to learn, the list of new features and notable tweaks is extensive to the point of being overwhelming. The biggest one, however, is that expenite will drop from enemies, although you’ll still be able to mine it, too.

The full write-up is available over on Steam if you’d like to get into the nitty-gritty. However, after reading through everything and watching the overview trailer, it certainly sounds like Ghost Ship is putting a bunch of effort into adding new features and whatnot.

The above being so, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to return to Rogue Core for another look, now might be a good time to boot it up. Otherwise, stay tuned for more news, as this one still has a way to go.

In other Deep Rock news, the upcoming Survivor update, Knockout, is getting closer to release. For all the latest on the bullet-heaven shooter expansion, you’ll find the release date and more here.
