Deep Rock Galactic Players Crack Season 6 Release Date in Minutes
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Deep Rock Galactic fans on Discord successfully decoded a hidden release date for Season 6 from a teaser image within twenty minutes of its posting, pointing to a late January arrival.
Ghost Ship Games might want to take notes from Rockstar on how to keep an easter egg under wraps, because the Deep Rock Galactic community solved their latest ARG in record time. According to a report by Rock Paper Shotgun, a promotional image posted to the official Discord server for the co-op shooter was decoded by sharp-eyed players just twenty minutes after going live. The artwork, which teases the upcoming content drop, apparently contained a hidden sequence of numbers scattered across cobwebs, alien remains, and mining equipment.
When pieced together in a standard date format, the hidden numerals point to January 29, 2026. This lines up neatly with the previously announced first quarter window for the major update. While the core team at Ghost Ship focuses heavy development efforts on their upcoming roguelike spinoff, Rogue Core, Season 6 itself has been built in collaboration with their Copenhagen neighbors, Invisible Walls. Players can expect a hefty chunk of new content when it drops later this month, including fresh xenobugs to blast, a grim new biome filled with skeletal remains, and a brand new mineral extraction mission type.
For a game that many of us keep installed as a permanent part of our rotation, fresh cave systems and new bugs are always welcome. Co-op giants live and die by how well they can refresh their loops without breaking what made them fun in the first place, and a tight community solving marketing puzzles together is the best kind of hype. With just a few weeks left until the drills start spinning on January 29, it is time to check your loadouts and get your squad back on the schedule.
