Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is the meaner, shootier cousin to the standard DRG experience. As they are wont to do, the space dwarves have dug too greedily and too deep: mining teams are going dark, forcing the company to call in their heavily armed, hyper-lethal problem solvers—the Reclaimers—to apply a more forceful form of loss prevention. In a repeatable, roguelite format, of course. If you're eager to deploy for a deadlier take on Deep Rock, I've got the Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core unlock times and release date collected down below. Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core launches in early access at 12 pm EDT / 5 pm BST on Wednesday, May 20. That gives the US and Europe a comfortable amount of daytime for dwarf activities, but if you're farther east, you might need to stay up a bit late for some roguelite rock and stone. Here's that unlock time for time zones around the globe: If your time zone isn't one of those listed above and you are—as I often am—disinclined to perform the necessary arithmetic, head over to a convenient time zone converter to see when Rogue Core drops in your part of the world. It doesn't seem like it. Preloading is unusual for a Steam early access launch, and Ghost Ship hasn't mentioned it on social media or in any Steam news posts. Thankfully, its recommended system requirements only ask for 6 GB of storage space, so it'll be a relatively short wait before you can play once unlock time arrives.
