On the Horizon is coming back – and that means news on all things Ghost Ship.

Next week, we’re broadcasting another On the Horizon, our big dev livestream where we take a deep dive into what we’re up to, checking in on our own games as well as Ghost Ship Publishing titles. For this one, the headliner is Rogue Core news — but we’ve also got a lot of other goodies on the agenda. Did somebody say Deep Rock Galactic merch?

On the Horizon goes live on Thursday, November 21st at 14:00 CET (UTC+1). You’ll be able to tune in via Youtube (where the premiere is already live) as well as on Twitch[www.twitch.tv]. A recording of the whole thing will be available after, too.

Here’s what’s on the docket for the stream! Do keep in mind that all these timestamps might vary a bit.

Søren Lundgaard (CEO) and Mikkel Martin Pedersen (Game Director) say hi and get things started. Since this is our first big broadcast from our new office, we’ll also have Aaron Hathaway (Marketing Manager) give you a tour of the new digs.

Søren and Alex Skronski (Head of Publishing) call up all the developers of the different Ghost Ship Publishing titles for an update of where they’re at. This means news on DRG: Survivor, SpellRogue, DarkSwarm and Dinolords. There may be some more special news here, too.

The days of “DRG has no merch” are over. At long last, we’re finally doing it: a full run of Deep Rock Galactic merch, soon available for preorders worldwide. Aaron and Alex (Head of Marketing) will introduce the project, showcase a selection of goodies, and launch the webshop live on stream.

Mikkel takes the stage again for a big update on how Rogue Core’s coming along. We’ll talk about where we’re at in production, share screenshots and footage from the game, and discuss different aspects of the game’s design, art and lore. We’ll save time for a little Q&A afterwards.

We hope you’ll join us for the live broadcast next week on Thursday, November 21st. Again, you’ll find the stream on our Youtube and Twitch[www.twitch.tv] channels.

Talk soon!

With love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew

Years of practice. Endless hours of honing kiting skills, tightening fast-twitch reflexes, building a master’s touch for baiting a Dreadnought into a supply pod.

All this, to get to the place where champions are forged: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals.



Put simply, it’s the absolute pinnacle of sporting competition. Presented by the Ghost Ship Sports Network in cooperation with the Interplanetary Dwarven Athletics Association (IDAA), the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals are a live broadcast Esports event, pitting players head-to-head for the highest score in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, as you may know, is the rogue-like auto-shooter spinoff of the original Deep Rock Galactic. It’s one dwarf, solo, against the infinite alien hordes of Hoxxes. Developed by Funday Games and published by Ghost Ship Publishing, the game just released their big Update 04, which introduces a new biome, a scoring system, and a whole hosts of ramped-up mutators and lethal challenges.

To mark the occasion, we’re making it the center of this groundbreaking esports event: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals. We’ll be broadcasting live from the Ghost Ship Games HQ in Copenhagen, with live play-by-play commentary from our extremely qualified sports journalists and splitscreen coverage of all the action as it unfolds in this head-to-head single elimination tournament.

Expect adrenaline. Expect groundbreaking sports journalism. Expect nothing short of the greatest, most professionally-produced sports experience in recorded history: the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Ultimate Challenge Invitationals.

Is this a joke? No. Sort of. We’ve lost track. But we are sure of one thing: We’re going live on Monday, November 4th at 17:00 CET.



For this year’s Invitationals, we’ve brought in eight content creators, all of them well-versed in Deep Rock Galactic and DRG: Survivor. On Monday, November 4th, they’ll be competing head to head in our single elimination tournament, to make it to the finals and claim the title of World Heavyweight Champion.

This year’s competitors are:

• Idlecub
  
• Javarak Gaming
  
• ThisTofu
  
• Explorian (fka DRG Historian)
  
• Sniss
  
• Rexalicious
  
• Wanderbots
  
• Farham

These eight contestants will be assigned via random matchup for the Invitational’s four qualifier rounds. In each round, competitors will be playing head-to-head in a pre-seeded match on Hazard 5 difficulty. The player with the highest score will advance to the next stage of the tournament bracket, and eventually on to the finals – but only one can be the true champion.



Nothing short of the most coveted trophy in sports history: the DRG: Survivor World Heavyweight Champion title belt.

Handcrafted with authentic Glyphid leather and gold plating harvested directly from Hoxxes, the championship title is a symbol of dwarven fortitude, strength, and enduring spirit. It’s graced the waists of many proud miners – and this year, at the Ultimate Challenge Invitationals, it’s going home with one of the eight competitors.


Great question.

When the event begins on Monday, November 4th at 17:00 CET, you can watch the Invitationals on Ghost Ship Game’s Twitch[www.twitch.tv] or Youtube page. The event premiere is already live on Youtube, in case you want to be there the split second the action kicks off.

We hope you have a lovely weekend, and we’ll see you at the Invitationals.
