How to sign up for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core closed alpha

Brace yourselves, Deep Rock Galactic is going deeper into the cavernous black soul of its latest bold move, spinoff Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core . This has now been announced by Ghost Ship Games as a roguelite FPS, which takes all the things you ever loved about co-op mining chaos and shoots it full of high stakes, high reward in procedurally generated caves. But, in case you want to get your hands on this dungeon-hopping adventure early, you should mark your calendar and sign up for the Rogue Core closed alpha. Here's how.
What is Rogue Core?Let's go through the sign-up process with a little background on Rogue Core. Opposed to its original twin, Deep Rock Galactic, which laid more emphasis on persistent character progression and mission-oriented co-op mining, Rogue Core is more roguelite in nature. This means that every run starts from ground zero—your expedition commences with low-level gear, through fighting increasing levels of toughness in the environments and upgrades as you go along. Then when death comes along, you start afresh but not without carrying over some permanent advancements to the next mission.


Though it is a new-found interpretation of the DRG universe, it doesn't wear the roots too lightly. A worthy "co-op first" experience, Rogue Core preserves the team-oriented design of its predecessor while venturing into new mechanics such as on-the-fly team builds and unique class roles.
What is Closed Alpha?Ghost Ship Games presently envisages a closed alpha of Rogue Core in Q2 2025, with Early Access expected a few months down the line in Q4 2025. This implies that the first batch of testers will probably be saddling up with the game sometime within April to June 2025.

How to sign up:Although Ghost Ship Games has not yet opened sign-ups, they already specified that the closed alpha would be limited access, meaning that not everyone would get in. Here are a few things to improve your odds:

• Join the official newsletter – Visit the Deep Rock Galactic website, and be sure to sign up for updates; Ghost Ship tends to notify fans via email first.
  
• Wishlist Rogue Core on steam – By having the game on your wishlist on Steam, you will receive notifications whenever there is a testing phase or release.
  
• Follow Ghost Ship games on social media – Twitter/X, Discord, and Reddit: all of these are where they reveal real-time updates, and sometimes exclusive links to sign up.
  
• Join the DRG discord server – This is where Ghost Ship Games usually engages with its core community the most, and alpha invitations are often distributed first.
  

Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core is turning out to be more than just an offshoot; it's an evolution. With its darker tone, higher stakes, and fresh mechanics, it offers the fans a whole new way to experience the dangerous beauty of Hoxxes IV. If you want to be among the first to dive into the mysterious depths, keep your eyes open, stay connected, and prepare for the race to sign up for a closed alpha.
