Hello Reclaimers, Lead Game Designer Mike here. With this week's Update 1.2 turning out quite large, we thought a more feature-focused version of the patch notes would help shine some light on the 'what' and 'why' of this update. Some of the changes have some more significant effects on the gameplay experience, so I think that’s worth looking at in detail. You can find the full 1.2 patch notes…

Hello Reclaimers, We're excited to launch the first major Update for Rogue Core! After much consideration, we have decided to call this first update 'Update 01'. It's been a busy couple weeks leading up to this. We've been doing a lot of experimenting, tweaking and adjusting, including some big revamps to core game mechanics. We also squeezed in some new content for good measure. There's a lot…

(Build: 144292 - 04/06/2026) Hello Reclaimers, We are all hands on deck with Update 1 (preview HERE ), so this is a rather small patch. It contains some tweaks to the session system and serverlist that should make things better for those who have been having trouble seeing the serverlist / joining lobbies, and a few crash fixes. With love, The Ghost Ship Crew --- PATCH NOTES --- - Adjusted sess…

Hello Reclaimers, Following up on yesterday’s post , we’re here to share our revised Early Access Living Roadmap for Rogue Core. We listed things in order of priority, rather than putting it all on a timeline. Knowing ourselves, it’s easier for us to keep you updated on a rolling basis, rather than committing to a bunch of hard deadlines from the get-go. As always, everything you see down below…

Hello Reclaimers, Hell of a day, huh? It’s been a rollercoaster of a launch and we’ve gotten lots of feedback, both positive and negative. We’re taking both seriously. We’re currently working on a patch for today with some “safe” smaller improvements, and cooking up a plan to address more major points of critique in the immediate future. Thanks to everybody who’s been part of this launch — both…
Hello Reclaimers, Problem solved! We found the rat that chewed through all the cables in the server room, and we gave it a stern talking to. We've just implemented a first MacGyver-esque fix for the server list issues. You should be able to see and join others' servers now! If you run into any issues while attempting to join, refresh and try again. Our backend programmers are hammering away at…

Hello Reclaimers, Tomorrow, we take back Hoxxes. Some of you may be veteran miners, having faithfully served this Company in the mines of Hoxxes IV. Others may be newly-enlisted, deploying to the depths for the first time. Operations Command has assembled this tactical briefing to help you get the most of your Rogue Core experience and make sure you return back to the Ramrod in one piece. If yo…
Hello Reclaimers, We’re now two days away from Rogue Core’s Early Access launch! The game will go live on Steam on May 20th at 18:00 CEST . Ahead of that, we wanted to share a few thoughts on the whole early access process, our plan for the months after launch, and what Rogue Core is all about. Rogue Core isn’t Deep Rock Galactic We developed this game as a standalone title to explore a differe…
Hello Reclaimers, We’re ready to bring in another batch of playtesters to the Closed Alpha! A couple thousand more playtest invites have just gone out, selected (as always) at random. If you’ve been picked, you should get an email and a Steam notification with the invite. This is very likely to be the last one before Rogue Core launches to Early Access on the 20th of May. Questions on the Close…

Hello Reclaimers, We’re ready to bring in a fresh batch of playtesters to the Closed Alpha! A couple thousand more playtest invites have just gone out, selected (as always) at random. If you’ve been picked, you should get an email and a Steam notification with the invite. We'll do another invite wave next week (provided nothing is on fire), which will likely be the last one before Rogue Core la…
Hello Reclaimers, It's May 1st, which means it's officially Rogue Core Month! Just under three weeks to go until Rogue Core hits Early Access here on Steam on May 20th. Ahead of the big launch, we're here to share the offical Rogue Core Early Access key art! If you'd like a high-resolution version, or one without the logo, you can find it (plus other goodies) in the Rogue Core Press Kit . Feel…
Hello Reclaimers, Short announcement to share that we've just sent out another wave of invitations, bringing a couple thousand more playtesters in to the Closed Alpha. These invites have been sent via random selection, like always. Questions about the Closed Alpha? We've been happy to see a lot of curiosity and enthusiasm about the Closed Alpha, and we know that comes with plenty of questions.…
Hello Reclaimers, What’s the Slovak word for ‘Core Spawn Clamorhead’? Can OMEGA learn to speak Korean? Is a Spanish Reclaimer a Recuperador or a Reclamero ? Making a video game involves a lot of made-up terminology. And that’s all good fun, until those words run into the contextual and grammatical complexities of all the world’s languages. It takes a lot to make sure a game makes sense beyond i…
Hello Reclaimers, Another playtest is upon us! We’ve just sent out a fresh batch of invites to the Closed Alpha, with a brand-new build ready to go. We soft-launched this new build last week to existing playtesters, and now it’s time to open it up to thousands more. As always, these invites are sent out randomly via Steam, so we're all at the mercy of RNG here. You should get a Steam notificati…

We're getting very excited over here. We’ll have more to share up to the release date, so make sure to check ba…
Hello Reclaimers, Another little dev peek! This time, we’re taking a look at character cosmetics. We initially weren’t going to do much in the way of cosmetics for Rogue Core, but then we realized there’s no fun in that. So now we’re doing them. Cosmetics begin in the art department. Our 2D and 3D artists start the process, coming up with loads of drafts for all sorts of cosmetics we could put…
Hello Reclaimers, Back with another update on Rogue Core’s development! But this won’t be the usual Dev Diary format. In fact, we’re changing things up. There’s loads to do as we push toward Early Access, which means our writing team (me) doesn’t have as much time to work on Dev Diary posts. Moving ahead, we’ll focus on Dev Peeks (genius name), which are gonna be shorter, more focused, and more…
