The salty scent of surf wafts in from the nearby beach. There’s sand between your toes. A seagull calls as it flies overhead. You’re eating a big bowl of sunscreen with a spoon.

This can only mean one thing: It’s time for the Space Beach Party seasonal event in Deep Rock Galactic, which is a game about surfing. The Beach Party kicks off on Thursday, August 1st at 13:00 CEST and makes waves until August 15th.

Let’s take a quick peek at what’s coming!

It ain’t summer vacation without a bit of hard work! Only joking, folks – the DRG company handbook doesn’t say anything about vacation. Anyway, there’s a new assignment for you: the Hoxxes Summer Cruise.

Complete it, and we’ll reward you with our wettest hat yet: The Tentacle Topper.

The flower helps mask the smell.
New to the Space Beach Party? You can still earn all the other cosmetic rewards from previous Beach Party events. Just complete the Last Year's Summer Fashion assignment, and you’ll earn all the old ones in one fell swoop. Might have to shake the sand out of ‘em, though.


In yet another black mark on the shipping record of Longbeard Freight, those buffoons have fumbled a big load of fun inflatable pool floaties, scattering them throughout the caves. These pool toys are critical for mining operations, so we need them back. Deposit one during a mission, and your whole team will earn a Double Performance Pass Point Bonus. Totally tubular!



Although Management didn’t approve our budget request for a wave pool, we’ve still got the Space Rig looking beachy. You’ll see it and say, “Lu-wow!” Get it? Like luau. Moving right along, the Rig’s been decorated with holiday lights, (slappable!) inflatable palm trees, beach-tastic audio ambiance, big buckets of water balloons, and several tons of coarse, rough, irritating sand.

Management requests that all employees handle the water balloons responsibly, as the insurance policy on the Space Rig doesn't cover water damage.

The 2024 Space Beach Party kicks off in just two days, on August 1st at 13:00 CEST. It might come to consoles just a teeny bit later.

Make sure to ask your teammates for help putting sunscreen on your back!

We've got a mid-summer surprise for you.

For a while now, we've had fans asking about a collaboration with the dwarven power metal band Wind Rose. Their hit track "Diggy Diggy Hole" has struck a chord with many brave dwarven hearts, and had folks excited about crossover possibilities between their music and Deep Rock Galactic.

Well, we heard you. And we reached out to them to see if we could cook something up together. Turns out the answer was yes, we absolutely could cook something up together.

We're very happy to share their latest single -- "Rock and Stone" -- inspired by the Deep Rock Galactic universe. Check out the music video above! Great work, Wind Rose. <3

Hope everyone's having a great summer out there. Don't forget to check for cave leeches.

With love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew
