It’s no surprise given the enduring popularity of the wider DRG universe, but it’s impressive nonetheless that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has already managed to shift an impressive 1 million copies since it launched earlier this year.
Developed by Funday Games in collaboration with Ghost Ship Publishing, DRG Survivor is an auto-shooter similar in theory to Vampire Survivors et al, however, there’s a huge emphasis on mining and resource gathering here that sets it apart.
As teased in the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor roadmap, the first new biome being added to the game is the Salt Pits. Now we have a firm date as it’s due to drop on March 20th – just a few days from the time of writing. Here’s the official spiel:
“It’s time to venture deeper into Hoxxes IV, Miner. Salt Pits are being added to Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor as a fourth biome, allowing dwarves to weaponize their surroundings as they target specific stalagmite clusters to rain sharp stalactites on bugs.”
There are two new screenshots for your viewing pleasure below, which I mined from the press release. If you want to see more of the DRG Survivor, simply hit one of the links above or otherwise head over to the official Steam page.
