Deep Rock Galactic Maps Out Season 07, 08, and an Expansion DLC

Announced at The Big Break Showcase, Deep Rock Galactic is set to receive Season 07, Season 08, and a new Expansion DLC — all confirmed for release within the next year. The announcement came from GSG Aaron via Steam Community on September 29, 2026.

Season 07: "Contingency Protocol"

The narrative framing involves gravitational anomalies around Hoxxes IV, with geomagnetic poles reversing across concentrated areas. The company links this phenomenon to a wave of fatal Drop Pod crashes. Mining crews will be dispatched to crash sites for forensic analysis while R&D receives a budget increase for new defensive technologies.

A December 2026 release window is being targeted. The studio describes the season as "quite substantial," with a focus on fan-requested features. All content is explicitly marked work-in-progress and subject to change.

What changed

• ~20 new Overclocks being added, with a focus on secondary weapons across all classes — named examples include Neurotoxin Minelets, Dragonfire Shells, and Dismantler Rounds
• Revised Perk System — a full revisit is underway, though the source text is truncated before the goals are fully described
• Season 08 and an Expansion DLC are confirmed but carry no details in this announcement

For players who have been waiting on secondary-weapon variety and a long-overdue perk rework, Season 07 appears to be the most mechanically ambitious update in some time — though the full picture remains forthcoming.
