Deep Rock Galactic Season 6 Release Date & more details
Before we dive into the details and information about Season 6 of Deep Rock Galactic, first take a brief look at what Season 5 promises.
Season 5
In Season 5 of Deep Rock Galactic, players will be treated to a thrilling prelude to the Rogue Core, accompanied by a new mission type focused on exploration. The perilous caves will also introduce both mobile and stationary enemies to challenge players. Twelve new overclocks for primary weapons will enhance the arsenal, while a fresh Season Performance Pass promises free cosmetics, credits, and crafting resources. A feature has also been planned that will let players reactivate past seasons for a nostalgic journey. On a lighter note, Dwarves, ever-evolving, have some new dance moves to show! Other than that, cosmetic filtering brings organization to the wardrobe, game optimization, NVIDIA LSSE integration, and a DLC armor set are some more features of Season 5 that players should be looking forward to.
Season 6
As of now, there is no official release date for Season 6 of Deep Rock Galactic. Given the early phase of Season 5, it is understandable that details regarding the next season are currently scarce. With players still delving into the latest content and experiencing new missions, enemies, and features, the development team has yet to unveil information about what lies ahead in the upcoming season. Still, speculations can be made and that is exactly what we will be doing next.
When will it be released? (Speculations)
By analyzing the release dates of the prior seasons, which we have listed below, we can attempt to speculate on the release date for Season 6.
- Season 1: November 2021
- Season 2: April 2022
- Season 3: November 2022
- Season 4: June 2023
- Season 5: June 2024
The release pattern, disrupted by the delay of Season 5 from the expected December 2023, has introduced unpredictability in the release schedule. While the initial rhythm suggested a six-month gap between seasons, the shift to a June 2024 release for Season 5 raises questions about the potential evolution of the development timeline. Considering this gap of a year between Season 4 and 5, we can speculate that Season 6 might be released in December 2024 (considering the 6-month gap), by June 2025 (the new 1-year gap), or around that time frame. But again, it’s essential to note that these are speculative estimations, and the actual release date may vary based on the development timeline. Therefore, these speculations should be taken with a grain of salt.
Finally, in light of this uncertainty, miners and fans will have to await official announcements regarding the release date of the upcoming Season 6 and all the exciting adventures that lie ahead.
