Creators of Deep Rock Galactic<\/a>, Ghost Ship Games, announced Season 2 all the way back in December 2021. Finally, a few months later, a six-minute trailer has dropped for a free season pass.<\/p>\n

Via the roadmap update released back in December, players learnt that the second season of Deep Rock Galactic was to be expected between March and April this year, and here we are, Season 2: Rival Escalation will go live on April 28 for Steam players, and on May 5 for those using Xbox and PlayStation.<\/p>\n

As expected, Season 2 follows on from Rival Incursion, and your mining operations are still being disturbed by your rivals. So, Season 2 is going to oversee you going head-to-head with them further as you each try to one-up each other. However, the Rivals don’t appear to have any plans to go down easily, and you’re going to have to target their new communications, robot hordes, and a ghastly new enemy this season.<\/p>\n
